The Bolgatanga Municipal Chief Executive Mr. Rex Asanga has hinted that the assembly is in dialogue with the contractors engaged with the Ghana First Company toilet Projects. Apexnewsgh.com report

Mr. Asanga made the revelation on Wednesday, August 24, 2022, during an interview on Yem Fm monitored by Apexnewsgh.com

Responding to issues regarding sanitation in the Bolagatanga Municipality and the effort by the assembly to eliminate the Canker of Open Defecation (OD)

The MCE said: “There quite a number of public toilets that have been given to individuals to manage and we ourselves are not impressed with the management of those facilities, we are reviewing them and then, we will be working with those people who are managing the toilet. Because, if you go to the toilet and it is not well kept, I entered one and really wondered how people can enter there and free themselves. So we are going to look through how we keep those toilets well kept”.

“We also want to increase the number of toilets we have. I don’t know if you have heard about Ghana First toilets. There was some… I don’t know whether is an NGO or an Organization that came around and got people to start building toilets and the people started building the toilet almost to completion and they disappeared up till now. So, we are initiating some dialogue with the contractors of those toilets to see if we can bring the toilets on board to add. I agree with the one who sent in the message that we need many more toilets in the system”. He maintained

However, the MCE maintained: “Ghana First is not a project of the assembly, is an organization that awarded contracts across the country to individual contractors to construct toilets and they disappeared and left the contractors and some of them have spent all their investment in the construction of the toilets and they can’t find the employer”.

So, the assembly is only trying to see if we can come in and discuss with the contractor the best way for them to complete the toilet and deploy them for use. Mr. Asanga stressed

Meanwhile, apexnewsgh.com as part of the Upper East Regional Branch of the Media Coalition against Open Defecation (M-CODe) is working so hard in making sure issues of Open Defecation (OD) is a thing of the past.
