The MCE addressing the media after a cleanup exercise dubbed Partnering the Community for a Clean and Green ONMA described the situation as very alarming and a fertile ground for the outbreak of disease such as cholera and typhoid adding that the phenomena must change to save the lives of the many unsuspecting families.

He further explained that the problem persists because spaces allocated for laying of these domestic pipe lines have been occupied by metal containers and kiosks.

Mr. Boye Laryea said the cleanup exercise is part of an elaborate plan to rid the municipality of filth as the Assembly climaxes programmes and activities marking its third anniversary since its establishment.

The Municipal Environment Health Officer, Mr. Boniface Asharlley said sanitation is a shared responsibility for all citizens, thus residents must continue the exercise and not be a one off event where the citizenry will revert to life as usual.
