The Battor Citizens Development Association (BACIDA) has appealed to the Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs (LGC) to use his good offices to prevent the North Tongu District Assembly (NTDA) Engineer, Mr Ebenezer Adega, from building a washing bay on waterway at Battor - Agboganu.
According to BACIDA, Mr Adega had been asked to stop work on several occasions by the Association and the Paramount Chief of Battor Traditional Area, Togbega Patamia Dzekle VII, but had refused to listen.
In a petition signed by the Chairman of BACIDA, Ex-WOI Bright Segbefia, said even though the Paramount Chief also added his voice, Mr Adega went ahead to build the washing bay on a natural waterway, which posed danger to the community in terms of flooding as experienced at Mepe, a neighbouring traditional area, during the Akosombo Dam spillage, which flooded the community.
It continued that since Mr Adega was disrespectful to the Paramount Chief, BACIDA reported his conduct to the professional body he belongs, the Institute of Engineers and Technology (I ET) believing that he would respond positively but he allegedly refused.
