Dr Mustapha Ahmed, Deputy Minister of Environment, Science and Technology, is worried it would be very impossible for the country to achieve the Millennium Development Goal on Sanitation by 2015. The country’s Millennium Development Goals for 2015 for access to improved drinking water and improved sanitation are 78 and 53 percent respectively, but with Ghana doing just 14 percent in the area of Sanitation, it would take a “miracle” to achieve its target, he claimed. He was speaking at the unveiling of Goodwill Ambassadors by WaterAid Ghana to dedicate their time and effort in addressing the problems of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in the country through advocacy and fundraising. They are Nana Kobina Nketia V, Paramount Chief of Essikado Traditional Area; actress Ms Akofa Ejeani Asiedu, radio personalities Ms Shamima Muslim and Nathaniel Kwabena Anokye Adisi (Bola Ray). The rest are Efya Awindor, musicians Ben Brako and Wilhelmina Abu-Andani (Mimi) and gold-winning paralympic Hajara Mohammed. Dr Ahmed called for attitudinal change in people’s approach to sanitation and also appealed to the “conscience” of landlords to introduce toilet facilities as well as stop the habit of converting existing facilities into accommodation. Madam Theodora Adomako-Adjei, Extension Services Coordinator of the Community Water and Sanitation Agency, who chaired the occasion, lamented the low attention given to issues related to sanitation. She noted that because of the inadequate attention people are losing their dignity. She explained that it was common to find both the young and adult shamelessly indulging in open defecation. Madam Adomako-Adjei said most cases at the outpatient department (OPD) in hospitals are water and sanitation related.
