90% of sachet water just raw tap water – GWCL

The Head of Communication at the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL), Stanley Martey, has alleged that more than 90 percent of sachet water on the market is just raw tap water repackaged by various sachet water producers. This is contrary to suggestions that the sachet water is properly treated and therefore better than the raw resource directly supplied by the GWCL. He made the comment while responding to a Demographic and Health Survey report by the Ghana Health Service and the Ghana Statistical Service that revealed that 29% of Ghanaians rely on sachet water. “More than 90 percent of sachet water producers use water from the Ghana Water Company as their  raw material for the production of sachet water..It is all from Ghana Water Company and not any industry trying to treat its water. “They rather devalue the water because if you look at the conditions under which some of these sachet water producers produce their water, it is rather pathetic.

He further explained that though the judges were caught on the tape, if due diligence is not taken   to ascertain the reality of their actions before the video goes public, the judges that may not be found guilty of the allegations may face public ridicule or have their integrity and reputations tarnished. However, in my opinion the video must be shown because I believe that in a democrati
