Managing Director of Ghana Water Limited, Adam Mutawakilu, said criticisms surrounding the initiative are based on misunderstandings about the structure and operations of the company.
According to him, the sachet and bottled water business is being undertaken through a subsidiary and does not interfere with the primary responsibilities of Ghana Water Limited.
Mutawakilu explained that subsidiaries often operate independently while supporting the broader objectives of a parent institution, adding that such arrangements are common among major state-owned enterprises.
He cited Volta River Authority as an example, noting that the authority operates subsidiaries involved in power distribution and revenue collection without compromising its core mandate.
