The Ho Municipal Assembly has demolished the old Zongo Slaughterhouse to ensure full operational compliance at the newly established Sokode Abattoir.
The exercise, which took place under the direct supervision of Stephen Adom, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), forms part of efforts to streamline meat processing activities and improve sanitary conditions within the municipality.
The Assembly's decision follows years of health and safety concerns raised by public health authorities over the poor state of the Zongo facility, which lacked potable water, proper drainage, and hygienic waste disposal systems.
Several attempts to relocate the butchers to the Sokode Abattoir met resistance from industry players and segments of the public.
