This has led to a water shortage over the past four days in Binbcheratanga, forcing residents to trek long distances to a single borehole for water at the risk of cholera.

[contextly_sidebar id=”bsjPwgmftQL2NAKe0Nx6tkRoXqLH5jBV”]The chief of Binbcheratanga, Naa Andani Azuma, recounted to Citi News that, NPP youth came to him demanding to manage the water system by taking over from the old management.

“A group of young men came to my palace asking me to hand over the keys to my water plant to them. I asked them why and the told me they the NPP youth now want to manage the system because their party is in power,” the chief said.

Naa Andani Azuma added that, he intended to wait for an official directive from the DCE, and later that evening, he said he “received a letter from the DCE directing me to hand over the keys.”

“The youth then came again and told me to give them the keys and I asked them who their leader was and they couldn’t answer. I again refused and around three pm on Monday, the DCE himself came and collected the keys.”

The old management of the facility, which was constituted on a non-partisan basis, was given three months training on how to manage the system, but it appears the current managers have been operating without the required expertise.

Women and children suffering

“Now women and children are suffering. They can’t get water. The taps are not flowing,” Naa Andani Azuma added.

The situation has greatly inconvenienced the farming community stalling farming activities, as some residents lamented.

“When day breaks, children don’t have water to bath before they go to school. We are all farmers so women have to search for water before they go to the farm which takes them maybe a whole day so we can’t work. We fight among ourselves and it will take you ten hours before you get one drum of water to the house,” one resident told Citi News.

Citi News has not been able to reach the Nanumba North DCE’s for comment.

There have been several cases of political vigilantism by perceived youth of the party, since the NPP took over office in January 2017.

The government has been accused of not biting enough in most of the cases, a situation that many believes emboldens more people to engage in these acts.

The artiste believes that his year has been largely successful due to the huge support he has received from his fans.

[contextly_sidebar id=”yS1RXP2mGFDjUHXSg0z8CdKo7PqNw0M4″]The best way to show his appreciation, the Ashaiman-based musician says, is to give them a song for the Christmas festivities.

According to the dancehall artiste, who recently bagged four awards in just 24 hours in Ghana and Nigeria, the song, MIGHTYLELE, which means mighty, is a perfect dance song for the yuletide.

Stonebwoy, born Livingstone Etse Setekla, giving the rationale behind the song said it is his way of heeding to the call of his numerous fans who have been asking what he has for them this Christmas.

“Lots of fans have been asking me what’s new for Christmas on top of the hits in the system?” he said.

In response to the request, “we decided to throw this one out for their dancing feet since Christmas is all about having fun and good time with friends, family and loved ones.”

His fan base, Bhim Nation, and those outside that circle, are an integral part of his music. His songs, he noted, are largely inspired and influenced by the feedback from his fans.

Stonebwoy is expected to dazzle fans at the official Christmas party, Decemba 2 Remember 2015, powered by 97.3 Citi FM and Airtel Ghana – the smartphone network.
