FIGHTING SANITION MUST BE TOP PRIORITY


Sanitation problem has been in this country for many years, but the sad story is that, each and every day, the problem of sanitation is not solved or cannot be solve, rather the situation gets out of hand everyday at a speed that if we are not careful we cannot even move from one point to the other because everywhere is garbage

Government s of the pasts have tried in diverse ways to solve the problem but to no avail. Some say much was seen from them, others say the problem is from we the citizenry, while others say it is both the government and the citizenry who have failed.

Fellow readers, which of these suggestions do you agree with? Keep the answer to yourself and think of a solution that will help us all. Currently, the government in power is almost done with his appointments. What are they going to do to solve this problem on sanitation. Minister for local government and rural development, and ministry of health and Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) and the other assemblies in the various regions should take the issue of sanitation very seriously. It should be government’s top priority.

THE ENVIRONMENT OUR LIVES (SOLVING SANITATION PROBLEMS)

SHE IS SCAVAGING SACHET RUBBERS FOR RECYCLING
The choke chemu lagoon, until steps are taken to control the dumping of garbage into the lagoon the channel will remain choked, even if it is dredged regularly. This is because residents alongside the lagoon dumb into the lagoon solid waste instead of putting the garbage into the provided refuse container.

FOOD IS PREPARED IN THE FILTH
The reason being that the residents has refused to pay the gh 50p that is been collected by zoomlion waste management company, hence the dumping of the garbage into the lagoon. It is not only the chemu lagoon which is suffering this fate, the Odaw river, the korle lagoon, the onyasia drain and others, country wide. The lagoon ends up flowing into the sea. The lagoon which uses to provide work for men and women as well as food for families, today it is not like that anymore.

Until we change our minds, attitudes and realizing that we are killing our own selves, government cannot do anything about, we will all die gradually through sicknesses and diseases and artificial disasters caused by our own doing. Examples like outbreak of cholera, TB, malaria, diarrhea etc
