The Member of Parliament (MP) for Ellembelle, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has commissioned two aqua privy toilet facilities built in two coastal communities, Nralekpole and Nralekyi in the Ellembelle District.
Mr. Buah, who is also the Minister for Energy and Petroleum Resources, said the toilet facilities has to be constructed because to prevent the residents from defecating along the beaches.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Buah advised the people to maintain a good hygienic behaviour and keep their natural surroundings clean to prevent an outbreak of fatal diseases such as Cholera and Ebola.
The MP also advised the residents not to pollute the beaches since cabinet has approved for an oil and gas harbour to be built in the coastal area of Ellembelle, to serve as the centre for oil and gas activities in West Africa.
The MP further commended the President for launching the Youth Enterprise Support (YES).
He said the fund will revive projects such as the ZOIL ECO BRIGADE in order to give employment to the youth.
He described the project as viable since it will ensure sanitation is sustained at the beaches to pave way for safe oil and gas exploration.
The Regent of Nralekpole, Nana Blay Buah thanked Mr. Buah for his swift intervention to build the facilities when the community petitioned his office and promised that the facilities will be well maintained, to prolong their life span.
The MP assured the people that government will bring more development projects to their doorsteps, and appealed to them to be a little patient.
He was accompanied by the District Chief Executive (DCE), Daniel K. Eshun and the NDC Constituency Organizer, Kwame Amosah together with other party members.
