Angry residents of Kukuo, a suburb of Tamale in the Northern
Region are threatening to sue the Tamale Metropolitan Assembly over the poor
sanitation conditions in the area. According to the residents, the assembly has
neglected its duties and has exposed them to the cholera outbreak and other
communicable diseases. They also cited the dilapidated nature of a public
toilet facility which serves hundreds of residents and described it as a death
trap in its current state. The toilet facility is now overgrown with weeds. The
residents say the situation is encouraging open defecation which exposes them
to diseases. They say they have incessantly complained about reptiles including
snakes entering their homes. It is against this backdrop that the angry
residents are threatening to sue the Tamale Metropolitan Assembly for ignoring
their calls for rehabilitation of the toilet facility. They also accused the
Assemblyman for Kukuo Electoral Area of being insensitive to their plight.
