Cape Coast, July 31, GNA – The Central Regional Library has been without water supply for the past three years due to its inability to pay bills.
It owes the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) to the tune of over GH¢30,000.00 accumulated in the past seven years.
The disconnection, has made it difficult for patrons to use the washrooms and places of convenience, which remained locked up.
The Central Regional Librarian, Nana Kwame Appiakubi who confirmed the disconnection in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) said all efforts to get to the GWCL to re-connect them had yielded no results.
The GWCL had insisted that the re-connection would be considered only when the authorities of the Ghana Library Board (GLB) made arrangements to start paying the bills.
« Now when the kids who visit the facility want to use the washroom, they are asked to go to the back of the building to urinate or if it is toilet, we have to direct them back home, which is very bad » he lamented.
Mr Appiakubi has therefore called on corporate institutions, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and philanthropists to go to their aid.
