Hon. Safo Nketia, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Krachi East, has spearheaded a comprehensive clean-up exercise aimed at beautifying the municipality and promoting better hygiene.
The initiative focused on improving the aesthetic appeal of Dambai, the Oti Regional capital, and its surrounding areas.
During the event, Hon. Safo Nketia emphasized the importance of maintaining a clean environment. Speaking to XYZ News and Ibrahim Nsor, he appealed to the residents of Krachi East to uphold high standards of cleanliness. He hopes this will not only improve the local environment but also attract visitors and foster a positive image of the region.
Hon. Safo also addressed the issue of improper waste disposal, urging residents to refrain from littering and dumping waste in inappropriate locations. He highlighted the adverse health consequences of such practices, including the spread of diseases like typhoid, malaria, and cholera, which have been linked to waste contamination of the Oti River and local gutters.
The MCE underscored the commitment of the current administration, under the leadership of John Dramani Mahama, to prioritize cleanliness across Ghana. As part of this effort, Hon. Safo announced plans for monthly clean-up exercises within the municipality. These regular initiatives are designed to improve public health outcomes and eliminate the diseases that have previously plagued the community. The MCE expressed his determination to ensure a healthier and more attractive Krachi East for all residents.
