The Minister for Gender, Children, and Social Protection and Member of Parliament for the Krowor Constituency, Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, has raised concerns about a rise in infections among female students at Nungua Senior High School. She attributes this increase to ongoing water shortages in the area. For years, communities within the Krowor Constituency have faced limited access to clean water, which disrupts daily life and poses serious health risks.
Speaking to Citi News on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, the MP highlighted that although she has made efforts to supply water to the school through private means, the situation demands a more sustainable, long-term solution. “Whenever there is a water shortage in the constituency, Nungua SHS is one of the hardest hit,” she stated. “I’ve heard countless stories of young girls suffering from infections due to the acute lack of water. I often have to step in and supply water through tankers, but that alone is not enough.”
She is urging relevant authorities and stakeholders to intervene and help resolve the water crisis to protect the health and well-being of the students.
