Gomoa Lome (C/R), Feb. 4, GNA - A Severe water shortage at Gomoa Lome in the Central Region marred the beauty of installation of the Obaatan and Odikro of the town as relatives and love ones supposed to witness the installation of Nana Adoko Okumaning IV and Nana Ayeredu III, did not turn up.

Nana Ayeredu who succeeded his uncle, who abdicated in 1992, explained that the people had to travel several kilometres to Gomoa Daworampong, Gomoah Nduem and Agona Swedru to fetch water. He said those who attended the installation did not stay long due to the problem and appealed to the Gomoa District Assembly and non-governmental organisations for assistance to prevent an epidemic.

He commended the government for connecting the town to the national grid
