Ex-Greater Accra Minister Sheick I.C Quaye is set to rid the capital of mosquitoes ahead of the visit of the US President Barack Obama.In what passes as one of his explosive comic reliefs, the Ayawaso Central MP told his colleagues on the floor of the House on Tuesday that it is a well known fact that there are mosquitoes in the capital, saying his mass spraying exercise would 'restrain the circulation' of the dangerous insect.Having penciled Wednesday, July 8, 2009 for the spraying exercise, Sheikh Quaye called on the media to support his 'worthy cause'."We will spray and spray and when Obama comes he will not have a mosquito bite and will go away free from malaria," he rattled, provoking endless laughter from the floor.I.C. Quaye last year embarked on a similar exercise in Alajo, Odawna river and the Kpeshie lagoon in Teshie which are notable breeding places for mosquitoes.Story by Nathan Gadugah/Myjoyonline.com
