Member of Parliament for Efutu constituency and Board Chairman for Ghana Water Company Limited, Alexander Afenyo-Markin says poor reading of water meter is hugely causing financial loss to the state.
According to him, staff of those contracted to read these meters do not go round to read the meters.
They will rather look at your house, how posh it is and then bill you with huge amount when you don't even use water from Ghana Water Company in the house.
Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme he asked all those who have suffered from these poor billings by staff of those contracted to do the reading of the meters to help government mobilize more revenue.
"I have been a victim and I am entreating members of the public to assist in making sure that government is able to receive the right revenue for water production in the country," he said.
