The
Tamale metropolitan assembly is to embark on series of measures to improve the poor
sanitation situation in the metropolitan area. Among the measures are
evacuating refuse dumps, monthly clean up exercise, encouraging residents to
adopt household latrines and establishment of a sanitation fun as well as
construction of a compost plants in the metropolis. Sanitation challenges are
banes on the assembly recent times as refuse containers are left unattended to
in various suburbs in the city. The metropolis has since lost its past glory of
being the cleanness city in the country. But in an exclusive interview with
Fiila News, the Mayor of Tamale Abdul-Hanan Rahman Gundado is optimistic with
the measures, the city will regain its glory. Many residents in the metropolis
have been bickering over the poor sanitation situation in recent time. Last
week, residents of Gbalai and Kulaa in the Tamale north constituency threatened
to mount road blocks to stop any vehicle that will be bringing waste to the
landfill site following the Tamale Metro Assembly’s refusal to properly
maintain its landfill site located in the area. Meanwhile, the assembly has
declared war to clampdown all illegal waste management companies operating in
the metropolis.
