"I am afraid of what I am about to say ooo" To say or not to say does not arise at all. I saw it with my naked eyes and felt it with my bare skin. Can't I say anything about it? I can, I will say what needs to be said about it and let the chips fall where they may.
District Assemblies are responsible for development projects in their districts and are also responsible for revenue mobilization, health services provision and environmental health inspection. In fact, District Assemblies house the Environmental Health Inspection Team. 'Tankas' I hear some people call them. in some days just gone by, they were the most feared in our villages.
Exposed refuse, stagnant water, unswept home or backyard and weedy environments were grounds for arrest and prosecution. A stinking urinal, bathroom or home could put one behind bars or impose a heavy fine. Today's story appears different may be due to population increase and land scarcity. Insufficient logistics may also be a reason for inadequate inspection.
The above reasons and a few others may be accepted for filth engulfing our homes and streets BUT when a District Assembly environment is seriously questionable, then we have to point out those areas that are under my lens.
This is where the fear starts; I am afraid but I still have to say this. JASIKAN DISTRICT ASSEMBLY; my mother assembly until the seperation into JDA and BDA. Their urinal behind the Health insurance office is appauling. The place stinks and 'produces', houses and supplies flies. The welcome from the flies alone is good to make you forget the feeling to 'pee'. The stench? COLD! The sight of the place; blinding. I did not see a good place of public convenience except what is at GES. The Ghana Education Service structure is well refurbished and their toilet is under 'modernization' from the current pan laterine to KVIP or WC.
Summary, I am putting my eyes down. Call to duty. Honourables of JDA, get your men on their toes to shape up the urinal. Charity begins at home they say. Get a good place of convenience for staff and visitors and maintain the urinal behind the health insurance office.
