The Deputy Minister for Works, Housing and Water Resources, and Member of Parliament for the Awutu Senya West Constituency, Hon. Gizella Tetteh Agbotui, has paid a working visit to the Kwayanko Water Works to assess the turbidity levels of water in the area.
Speaking to the media, the Deputy Minister noted that the fight against illegal mining (galamsey) is beginning to yield positive results, as the colour of the water is gradually improving.
