The acute water shortage that has hit the Nsawam municipality for more than a month now is taking a toll on inmates at the Nsawam Prisons.<\/p>\n

Most of the boreholes the inmates now rely on as their only source of drinking water have broken down, worsening their plight.<\/p>\n

In the last few days, the Ministry of Water Resources, Works and Housing, has moved in to construct two boreholes in the interim for residents of the Nsawam-Adoagyiri Municipality, following Citi News\u2019 consistent reportage of the challenges there.<\/p>\n
