| Some of the metal refuse containers on display |
The
newly created Binduri Assembly with support from Zoomlion Ghana has procured
eleven (11) metal refuse containers to tackle the sanitation problem in the
area. The move forms part of effort by
the assembly to ensuring proper waste disposal. Moreover, the assembly in its
quest to inculcate in the people proper sanitary practice has recruited fifteen
(15) sanitary guards to compliment the effort of the Environmental Health Unit
in the performance of their duties. In view of this, management of the assembly
upon request from the National headquarters of Zoomlion secretariat has
submitted a list of names of janitors including heavy duty drivers to the
regional secretariat to be forwarded to the national quarters, whilst the
assembly awaits approval to enable it recruit personnel to commence work. The District Chief Executive, Daniel Akologo
Adoliba, who made this known to Radio Ghana said the assembly was determined to eradicate
the filth that has engulfed the area and has therefore putting in place
appropriate interventions to deal with the menace. This, he added, had
compelled the assembly to procure the necessary human and managerial resources
to properly manage waste in the district. He lamented that issue of poor
sanitation poses a major challenge to the assembly, stressing that efforts
would be intensified to ensure proper waste management. Mr Adoliba, however
called on the people to support the assembly in its effort and admonished
members of the assembly to contribute their bit by initiating clean up exercises
in their areas of jurisdiction. This, he
suggested, should be done in consultation with the chiefs and opinion leaders
to enable them achieve results. A clean-up campaign programme, he further proposed,
should also be considered at least once every quarter in all the communities
within the district.
