Nsuta’s authorities have cleared out the alarming filth that was engulfing the community, interfering with education and raising health hazards

 

The people of Nsuta in the Sekyere Central District of Ashanti have been relieved from the unbearable state of filth that was engulfing the community, and it’s interfering with education and creating additional health risks in the area.

In response to Damak Media’s follow-up, the residents, led by Rev. Father Omono Asamoah, the Anglican Church’s head priest at Nsuta, claimed that the situation had been resolved and pleaded with the authorities to keep working with Zoom-Lion to fulfill their obligations so that the community can avoid improper handling of the overflowing waste containers and have them removed on time.

He says the church has contributed to maintaining cleanliness by returning a portion of its land to the community for the construction of a temporary waste management site and a public restroom and will continue to support the district if they take proper care of it.

Rev. Father Omono thanked the Sekyere Central District Assembly Environmental Health Department, the District Chief Executive Officer, Hon Benjamin Kingsley Kodua, and their member of parliament, Hon Adelaide Ntim Yaa Agyeiwaa for the prompt intervention and practical steps they have taken to address the situation.

Rev. Father Kwabena Kwateng, the headmaster of the Anglican JHS, along with the students themselves expressed gratitude for the prompt actions taken by the authorities in addressing the waste site situation and how it has positively impacted their academic programs, including teaching and learning.

We are making an effort to meet the District Chief Executive Officer, Hon Benjamin Kingsley Kodua, and the member of parliament for the area, Hon Adelaide Ntim Yaa Agyeiwaa as well as the director of the Sekyere Central District Environmental Health, Mrs. Mercy Adams to discuss more on sanitation and health issues in the district.

Background of what the Sekyere Central District Environmental Health Director told the Damak Media and the results.

Mrs. Mercy Adams, the Sekyere Central District Environmental Health Director in an interview with the reporters from Damak Media in her office on Tuesday, January 29, 2024, stated that the district service provider, Zoom-Lion Company Limited, had experienced a major malfunction with their waste compactor, which has been of great concern to them.

She did, however, reassure that the waste compactor has been fixed and is now working on the district’s garbage pile.

There wouldn’t be any trash left uncollected by Friday, February 1, 2024, she promised.

The promise was fulfilled and we say thank you to the authorities for the effort made. Damak Media (Damak Sanitation Health Watch – Ghana)
