A visit to the township indicates that the situation still prevails and that the people were shocked to have heard the president assured the public that his government has solve the water situation.
It could be recalled that President Mills stated that The Kwanyako-Kasoa Water Interconnection Project has brought relief to the people of Kasoa, Awutu, Senya Beraku, Gomoa Fetteh and its environs.
Some people who spoke with adom news denied the statement made by the President.

Minority Leader: I am not mandated to escort President:
Minority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu says there is no standing order that stipulates that the Minority leader should appear before any committee for refusing to escort the President.
The Minority leader was responding to the call by deputy Minister of Information Samuel Okujeto Ablakwa suggesting that he should be immediately be summoned to the Privileges committee to answer for his refusal to be part of the procession team to escort the president after he addressed the nation in Parliament yesterday.
Mr. Okudzeto Ablakwa says it is the first time in history that the Minority leader has refused to comply with Standing orders in parliament.
He stressed even though the Minority disagrees with the President they should not have behaved as they did yesterday.
Mr. Ablakwa said Osei Kyei Mensah decision to refuse to escort the president was an insult to the President and the People of Ghana.
‘This is what the democracy is all about, we should agree to disagree but if the Minority leader refused to comply with standing order in Parliament then he is not worth his position’ he added.
However, Mr. Kyei Mensah Bonsu tells Adom News in an interview that the Vice President then Member of Parliament for Bole, refused to recognise President Kufour when he addressed the state of the nation in the year 2000.
He challenged the Deputy Minister of Information to go back and study the standing orders in Parliament but not to expose his ignorance.

Okujeto Ablakwa: Mills’ failure to recognize Chief Justice was human error
Okujeto Ablakwa: Mills’ failure to recognize Chief Justice was human error
The Deputy Minister of Education, Samuel Okujeto Ablakwa has apologized for President Mills’ failure to recognise the Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood and Former President Kuffour in his acknowledgement.
Samuel Ablakwa said in an interview on Adom News on Thursday shortly after the President’s speech that “it was unfortunate the President mistakenly forgot to notice the presence of such personalities” but explained that it was due to human error.
“The president is a human being and is subjected to human error so we should rather concentrate on other issues” he stressed.
This is the third time the President is addressing the nation and thus such mistakes should be left off the records, Ablakwa added.
The Deputy Information Minister was reacting to President Mills’ third state of the address which he forgot to acknowledge the presence of chief Justice Georgina Wood.
Samuel Ablakwa noted that the Castle never expected former President Kuffour to be at the function hence President Mills did not notice his presence.
However, the Member of Parliament of Asante Akyem North Kwame Anim-Antwi stressed that the Minority loudly called the attention of the President but he intentional refused to pay attention.
According to Mr. Anim-Antwi, the President intentionally did not acknowledge them and has no excuse.
“This amounted to Killing the Cat”, the MP stated.
Kwame Anim-Antwi explains that the original speech of the President did not acknowledge the Chief Justice hence the President must immediately apologize.
He said there are three arms of government namely the Legislature, Executive and the Judiciary so for the President to forget to recognize the Judiciary it amounts to infringement of the constitution.
He emphasized that President Mills’ state of the nation’s address was divisive and partisan.

Bernard Mornnah: Minority are disrespectful
The General Secretary of the People’s National Convention, Bernard Mornah has expressed disappointment Parliamentarians saying that the legislators were only concerned with their Ghc7,000 salary proposal but not the details of proceedings in the house.
“The Parliamentarians are only concern with their allowances and salary increment and do not concentrate on the developmental issues in the country”.
Bernard Mornah explained that the Parliamentarians showed gross disrespect to the President, a situation he described as unusual especially when he was delivering the state of the nation's address.
Speaking on ‘Dwaso Nsem’ on Adom FM on Friday, Mr. Mornah referred to the behaviour as childish and uncalled for.
"The minority especially behaved like some class one pupils studying under a tree. This attitude should not have been exhibited in Parliament", he stressed.
Bernard Mornah added, “the constitution stipulates that the President must address the state once in Parliament annually, so if the minority will not respect the office of the president then the country’s future is deeply at risk."
The General Secretary of the PNC made those comments after the Minority Caucus hooted at the President while the
Minority leader also refused to escort President Mills shortly after he ended his speech.
He concluded that the Parliamentarians do not deserve to be role models if they continue to exhibit disrespect to the office of the President.
