Your interview with Rudy Amenga-Etego is worthy of commendation (Pambazuka News 171). I completely agree with him that the privatisation of water is not the best option for Ghana and Africa in general, which has no welfare provisions. It goes to show the failure on the part of African Governments to provide for the people they are supposed to govern. The failure of these essential amenities are due largely to the corruption that has become endemic in governance in Africa. The privatisation of water will further impoverish the people who have no means of livelihood. The act should be resisted.
