Accra, Jan. 26, GNA - Mr Michael T. A. Nortey, Dangme West District Chief Executive (DCE), on Friday refuted claims that there was no water and electricity at the new site of Ghanata Secondary School at Dodowa. He told the GNA in an interview on telephone that the District Assembly (DA) provided water in two giant water tankers for the school per day, two each by the District Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) and the District Assembly. The DCE said anytime the GNFS and DA staff went to the School to distribute water, students usually did not have enough receptacles to receive the water, adding that such a situation could not be described as shortage or lack of water. "We have also provided the School with two new generators in addition to the one they already have to provide students with light for studies at night," he said. Mr Nortey noted that on January 8, 2007 when the School re-opened the Headmaster, Mr James Myers, who declined to talk to the GNA, asked student to come along with lanterns as a back-up measure just in case there was no light in the School to help them to study at night. He said it was therefore not true that students used lanterns to study at night since the three generators functioned well to provide light in the school at night. Mr Nortey said steps were underway to install permanent sources of water and electricity in the School by next Friday. "We held a meeting with officials from the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the consultants working on the Project, to finalize the provision of water and electricity and other facilities to the School. "As I speak with you now the plumbers are installing pipes and electricians are laying wires in preparation for the provision of water and electricity on permanent basis next week." Mr Nortey said he was also worried that some students complained about lack of transport to and from the School on regular basis. He said the School had two dormitories, one for boys and one for girls, and two more were being built. Additionally, there were sellers of all kinds of items very close to the School and there was, therefore, no need for frequent flow of commercial transport to and from the School. "Why would the students need transport everyday? What would they be going to town to do on daily basis?" He asked.
