PUWU Demands Action Against Illegal Takeover of Ghana Water Lands in Ashanti Region

The Public Utility Workers’ Union (PUWU) has issued a stern ultimatum to authorities regarding the illegal takeover and demolition of properties belonging to the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) in the Ashanti Region. In a recent statement, the Union condemned the ongoing encroachment, which they argue jeopardizes public service delivery and national interest. Despite previous interventions, private developers have continued to demolish GWCL land and harass its staff. PUWU has set a deadline of December 31, 2025, for authorities to take decisive action against these illegal activities, warning that any disruption in water supply resulting from inaction will be the responsibility of the authorities. The Union underscored the importance of safeguarding GWCL properties to ensure public access to potable water, a critical resource for the community.
