Set aside political differences for sanitation initiative — DCE

The Amansie West District Chief Executive (DCE), Prince Manu Morris, has urged the citizenry to put aside their political differences and support the national sanitation campaign initiative by the government. 

He said the fight against diseases must be a collective responsibility that transcends partisan lines; hence, sanitation initiatives should not be influenced by political affiliations. 

Clean-up

Speaking to journalists after joining the chiefs and people of Pakyi No.1 and 2 in a clean-up exercise in the communities, Mr Morris noted that diseases affected everyone regardless of their political beliefs.

“Let us all bury our political differences and support the national sanitation exercise because diseases do not discriminate based on political colours.

“When we keep our environment clean, we protect ourselves, our families and our entire community,” the DCE stated.

Mr Morris, therefore, urged residents to make environmental cleanliness a continuous practice rather than limiting their participation to occasional clean-up exercises.

He explained that sustained sanitation efforts were necessary to prevent the spread of diseases and improve the overall living conditions of people in the district. 

Challenges

The Assembly Member for Pakyi No. 2, Alex Donkor, commended the District Assembly for organising the sanitation exercise and for its continued efforts to promote environmental cleanliness across the district.

He appealed to the DCE and the government to come to the aid of residents of the Pakyi No.2 electoral area, particularly in the area of improving the deplorable state of the road network, which continued to affect movement and economic activities in the community. —  GNA
