Tufohen of Gomoa Kweikrom Nana Akromah, also added that, since from the time his elders came and settled at Gomoa Kweikrom they haven’t get portable pipe water to drink. He emphasized they walk a long way to go and fetch water from the Ayensu river at Gomoa Okyereko before they can get water to drink
