He said that such burials were likely to bring about the outbreak of strange diseases and those who would be caught doing it would be sanctioned.

Mr. Hussien said this when he presented a tricycle, commonly known as "motor-king", to the community to temporary serve as an ambulance at a durbar organised by the Gushiegu District constituency of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during which some presentations were made to groups within the party to help them in their political outreach programmes.

He appealed to the people to observe basic hygiene and cautioned them against politicizing the use of the tricycle, saying it was for the common good of all since diseases could attack anyone irrespective of which party he/she belonged

Mr Hussein personally presented grinding mills valued at GHc 12,350.00 to five women groups in the Galawei, Makuugu, Saakogu, Kpanashie and Nansomwia communities to assist them in their income generating activities.

The constituency executives presented four bicycles and a set of musical instruments valued over GHÂ¢ 2,400.00 to the party youth to help them prepare for the 2012 election.
