KRlivez team hits Abeka-Lapaz to see the sanitary situation
in area. The team has come to the notice that most residents of Abeka Lapaz and
its surrounding areas have turned their gutters into rubbish dumps and litters
anyhow in the area.
Notable among them are the gutters in front of their houses,
containers, shops and bus stops are filled with rubbish and this prevents waste
and rain water from flowing freely.
The worst part is that whenever it rains, it carries the
rubbish and deposits them at places, where they begin to attract flies, thereby
putting the community at the risk of infectious and communicable disease.
Speaking to some residents around Abeka Market, Free Pipe,
Fadama Junction and Nii Boi Town, they expressed worry over the gutters being
choked with rubbish, adding that it had increased the number of mosquitoes in
the area, increasing the risk of malaria.
Some traders who sell fresh fish and food along the streets
of the aforementioned places expressed their worry that because of the filth,
the resulting increment in flies had resulted in the low patronage of their
produce.
Abeka-Lapaz is an urban area in the Accra Metropolitan
district, a district of the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. If lapaz comes to
mind then the first the rings, it's business hub and intercity connect for
commercial bus “tro tro” .
Further interaction with traders and people who uses the
location as their transportation hub is crying bitterly on The Accra Metropolitan Assembly 'AMA' and
the government over acting dump as if nothing is happening there and also the
mayor who claims Accra belongs to him Is
also given them blind eyes.
KRLive News Is calling On the high offices of the Mayor and
the Accra Metropolitan Assembly and Sanitation Authorities to act fast about
sanitation issues facing the lapaz transportation stations and it's environment
as urgent alert .....
