The Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, Julius Debrah, has asked Ghanaians to put premium on environmental sanitation to prevent diseases.<\/p>\n
He said there should be a radical change in our attitude towards keeping our communities clean.<\/p>\n
The situation, where people indiscriminately litter, dump garbage into open drains, streams and at unapproved points would have to cease to restore sanity.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”cPQjhnBVKYuDas914cdZgN5MHVc9N7xT”]Mr. Debrah made the call when he paid a courtesy call on the chief of Asiwa, Nana Agyei Brempong III, during an official tour of the Bosome-Freho District.<\/p>\n
The Minister, his two deputies and top officials of his Ministry, are in the Ashanti Region for two-weeks to interact with the people and the metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies, to strengthen local governance.<\/p>\n
They are also using the period to inspect on-going projects being implemented to transform the lives of the people.<\/p>\n
He said it was important for all to accept to do the right but very simple things to stay healthy and to save the nation cost in dealing with sanitation problems.<\/p>\n
Mr. Debrah commended the District Chief Executive (DCE), Kwame Adarkwah, for the good job he was doing to bring progress to the people.<\/p>\n
Samuel Sarpong, the Ashanti Regional Minister, said the people would have to revisit the practice in the past where they organized communal labour to clean their surroundings periodically.<\/p>\n
He pledged to supply 300 waste bins to the Asiwa Community to help stop the littering of the streets with plastics and other waste materials.<\/p>\n
He urged the people to support the district assembly to implement its development agenda for the area.<\/p>\n
