Locals in Saki a suburb of Kpone-Katamanso Municipality in Ghana, have commended Zoomlion for fumigating their community to be free of mosquitoes and flies.
The residents said consequences of damaged drains and stagnant water, as well as unkempt environment, mosquitoes have invaded most communities so it was of great relief when Zoomlion decided to assist us with the fumigation.
Mr Isaac Newton Tetteh, Assemblyman for Saki Electoral Area in an interview with the Ghana News Agency at Saki appealed to churches, mosques, and other identifiable groups to embrace the ‘Operation Clean your Frontage” initiative to reduce the rate of invasion of insects and diseases in the Municipality.
He mentioned that it was appropriate that every household had a dustbin to reduce littering in the community.
Mr Tetteh advised the residents to observe good environmental practices, refrain from indiscriminate dumping of refuse, prevent stagnant water and a weedy environment.
He said such hygienic attitudes would help keep the municipality clean as well as prevent the increasing incidents of malarial cases.
Mr Tetteh expressed appreciation to the management of Zoomlion for the exercise and reiterated the call for good environmental practices.
