The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Krachi East, Safo Nketia, has led a municipality wide clean-up exercise aimed at enhancing sanitation, beautifying the environment, and improving public health in the Oti Regional capital, Dambai, and its surrounding communities.
The exercise forms part of a broader initiative to instill a culture of cleanliness and environmental responsibility among residents.
Addressing the media, including XYZ News and journalist Ibrahim Nsor, Safo Nketia emphasized the importance of maintaining a clean environment, noting that cleaner surroundings not only improve public health but also contribute to the attractiveness and economic potential of the municipality.
He appealed to residents to uphold high standards of hygiene, stressing that indiscriminate littering and the dumping of waste in gutters and rivers, particularly the Oti River pose serious health risks. "Improper waste disposal has been linked to the spread of diseases such as typhoid, malaria, and cholera in our communities.
