Health Services, Bumawura Ewuntomah Mahama, revealed that several control
measures have been put in place to ensure a drastic reduction in the number of

residents. As a preventive measure, Bumawura Ewuntomah Mahama said the
district has allocated new sites for refuse dumping and cautioned against open
defecation.
