Touching on the water situation in the nation, Hon.

This, she stated, will curb the water crises that have become the bane of several Ghanaians. �Why can�t all the institutions set up solar panels? And even transmit solar energy to Secondary Schools? Why can�t we also dig boreholes for schools in order to reduce the water bills?� she questioned.
