INEWSGHANA.COM - FILTH IN LA

There is a danger of cholera outbreak as filth continues to engulf some portions of the La-Agyeman area.

Refuse generated by residents are not properly disposed off. The area gets flooded at the slightest downpour of rain.

Some residents complained that the waste containers often get full rapidly yet, agents responsible for disposing off the waste from the provided waste containers seem not to have notice the rapid overflow of the refuse.

Others also said an amount of money, usually ranging from GHC 10p to GHC 2.00p, is demanded by voluntary communal labourers at the refuse dump whenever they want to dump refuse.

The introduction of the payment of money has compelled some residents to resolve to dump refuse along the beach at night or at dawn posing a dangerous threat to the entire inhabitants and holiday makers.

According to the Public Relations Officer of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, Nuumo Blafo, filth engulfed in Accra is very high however, necessary measures are being put in place to eradicate the menace.

He further stated that there is no record of Cholera Outbreak in Accra.
