Ghana has launched a water vending machine which requires people to use their ATM cards to pay before fetching water.

According to reports, the photos of the water vending machine were captured at Akyem Abomosu in the Eastern region of Ghana.

With this technology, the volume of water you fetch determines how much is debited from your ATM card. The machine has a metering system that measures the water fetched per session.

Just like the Gas/Fuel Delivery Machine, billing is done on price-per-litre basis. The litres of water fetched is usually multiplied by the preset price of a litre.

not a welcome development in my view

depends on the plan behind this. so those in rural areas are expected to pay for a natural resource they have been using freely for decades.

water is one natural resources given to us by God that shouldn't be metered with money. it isn't fuel

what is the point of the tax paid to the government to provide clean water. but using peoples tax to build machines that will tax them extra


Christ when you said "Wickedness in high places"
you saw something I tell you

Good for them

This is backward.

The madness of an African government in full display.

Hopefully this is fake news because if it isn't, then I am ashamed.
