Quizzed on the number of sachets of water he drinks a day, the young man probably in his 20s could not mention a specific number but admitted that his water intake on a daily basis is very high.

He revealed that due to increased prices of sachet water, he carries chilled water in tied miniature poly clear plastic bags *(ice water) from his house to wherever he goes.

“Now that the price of sachet water has been increased I have become very economical. Before I leave the house I ensure I have ice water as part of my things, the only reason I bought this pure water is that the ones I brought from home are finished” he said.

He concluded by saying that the only remedy to Ghana’s economic situation is to have a change in leadership.
