Staff of Ghana Water Limited have warned that they will resume an industrial action effectively closing the taps to several homes in the greater Kumasi area if the destruction of the company's residential properties is not halted.
The workers carried out a threat to shut down operations from Friday, December 13 to December 16, 2024, leaving several homes without running water with its attendant hardships and inconveniences.
The staff embarked on the protest when a private developer demolished the walls of the residencies of two chief managers and broke down a boys' quarters attached to one of the bungalows.
They indicated that other residential facilities for managers of the company were under threat from private developers who they insisted were bent on taking over the properties of the company despite a complaint lodged with the police and headquarters of the Water Company.
