Unit committees meet

Somanya (Eastern Region), 22nd April

Mr Ben Tetteh, Assemblyman for Blau Electoral Area at Somanya in the Yilo Krobo district has attributed perennial flooding in the area to the indiscriminate dumping of refuse at unauthorised places and called on unit committee members to help stop the practice.

Mr Tetteh said refuse not dumped at the appropriate sites are usually washed by torrential rains which result in the choking of drains and gutters, thus polluting streams and rivers in the area. Mr Tetteh who made the call at a meeting with members of four Unit Committees in the Blau electoral area on Thursday urged them to enforce measures that will influence the people to take sanitation seriously.
