President John Dramani Mahama has tasked the Ministers for Finance, Works and Housing, and the Attorney General to resolve issues related to the Teshie Desalination Plant, which has been shut down since October 2025 due to unresolved contractual obligations. The plant was meant to produce 13 million gallons of potable water daily for around 500,000 residents. During a concurrent visit to South Korea, Mahama engaged in discussions to strengthen bilateral cooperation in trade, maritime security, climate change, and agriculture, emphasizing the importance of agriculture for food security and the potential for resource exploitation through technological collaboration with Korea.
