Authorities in Nebi District have appealed to the Ministry of Health to clear the accumulated water bills of Nebbi Hospital.
Nebbi District Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Dorothy Ajwang Thursday evening said they are receiving threatening demand notices from National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) over the bills.
She said the hospital serves Pakwach, Nebbi, Madi Okollo and Zombo districts plus DR Congo. According to her, they have a bill which is Shs850 million, and they are unable to pay.
In February this year, NWSC informed parliament that health facilities with high unpaid water bills include Mulago National Referral Hospital whose bills stood at Shs3.730 billion, Jinja Regional Referral Hospital at Shs3.656 billion, Mulago Specialized Women Hospital at Shs2.1 billion and, Naguru Hospital with Shs1.480 billion.
Ministry of Health Permanent Secretary Dr Diana Atwine told lawmakers that government intends to construct boreholes to curb the increasing bills.
