The government is spending $740 million on the "water for all" program, which provides access to potable water.

Speaking during the opening of a town water project in Tuna, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia noted that the government's efforts to provide both rural and urban residents with portable drinking water had been successful in reducing the prevalence of cholera and other diseases linked to poor sanitation.

We are all aware that the sixth Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations is to provide access to clean water and adequate sanitation for all people.

The Akufo-Addo administration has a policy of "water for all" in this regard.

"This water for all policy has resulted in an investment program of about 740 million dollars in terms of investment in water systems in various towns and communities,” he said.

The Vice President intimated that Ghana has over the last five years not recorded a single case of cholera due to the huge investments made to provide clean drinking water and increasing the overall access to water to 87%, 96% for urban access while rural access stands at 74%.

“If you will all avert your mind, Ghana has not had a single case of cholera in the last five years. Not one single case of cholera,” he added.
