Sanitation Strategy for Ablekuma Central

THE Member of Parliament (MP) for Ablekuma Central, Mr Theophilus Tetteh Chaie, has drawn up a year long sanitation campaign plan to solve sanitation problems in the constituency.
Being able to solve the environmental sanitation problem in his constituency would be a fulfilment of a promise made to the people living within the Ablekuma central constituency during the run-up to the December polls.
Mr Tetteh Chaie told the Daily Graphic in an interview that the campaign was part of a comprehensive strategy by the President, Professor John Evans Atta Mills to deal with the appalling filth in communities, especially in the big cities such as Accra, Kumasi, Sekondi Takoradi and Tamale.
As part of the programme, Mr Tetteh Chaie explained that clean-up exercises would be organised in the various electoral areas.
“Educational programmes on sanitation would be organised for the people on how to handle refuse properly,” he said.
Mr Chaie said he was currently in dialogue with Zoomlion Ghana Limited to provide more refuse containers at vantage points to help curb the indiscriminate dumping and littering of refuse in the constituency.
Commenting on the deplorable state of the roads and poor drainage system in the constituency, the MP said he was in contact with the department of urban roads to rehabilitate the roads.
Aside that, he said measures were also being put in place to improve on the drainage systems in the constituency adding that improving security in the constituency was also one of his priority.
"I have met with the district police commanders in the constituency to discuss the various security problems to ensure that the crime rate in the communities are reduced to the barest minimum," he assured.
"I hope that by end of my term of office, the constituency would see more development than it is now," he promised.
