GHC30m PURC boreholes can ‘toast bread’ – Ace Ankomah mocks
Private legal practitioner Ace Anan Ankomah has
taken a swipe at the PURC over the price of some
boreholes they intend constructing for some
deprived communities in the country.

The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission has
secured approval for some GHC30million for the
construction of about 500 boreholes in selected
rural communities.

The amount has generated massive public discussion
after it was disclosed by the opposition New
Patriotic Party. The PURC has however denied
claims that the project is being used as a smoke
screen to fund the re-election bid of President
John Mahama.

"PPP has given approval but the PURC has not
awarded the contract. If anything is going to
happen the project will start in 2017 January,"
the PURC spokesperson Nana Yaa Gyantua explained.

Commenting on the development, the popular lawyer
cynically claimed that the planned boreholes have
extraordinary features, hence the price.

“People like Franklin Cudjoe just don't get it.
This is no ordinary borehole. Think of it as a
DISPENSER. It's gonna come with buttons and it
will dispense boiling water, hot water, warm
water, room temperature water, cold water, ice
water, pure water, chilled water, ice cubes,
crushed ice, ice 'blog', Americano coffee, Latte,
Cappuccino, Expresso, Earl Grey Tea, Queen Anne
Tea, Lipton Tea, Indian Tea, Milo, Bournvita,
pito, whiskey... ei!

Heck. The thing can even toast your bread and fry
an egg for you,” he wrote on Facebook.
