Detractors of the government are behind the heaps of refuse in corners and streets in the Central Business District of Accra especially in the Kantamanto Market area an NDC women's organiser has said.The Odododiodioo Women's Organizer of the NDC, Ms Mavis Manugbor,
addressing a meeting of the Kantamanto Branch of the NDC in Accra, said the "the heaps of refuse and the sanitation problems in the Kantamanto and Railways areas are the work of detractors of the NDC to score cheap political points".She said they were behind the activities of the "kaya bola" refuse
carriers for a fee, who dump garbage and waste from stores and other
locations indiscriminately to discredit the government for not being able to handle waste management in the city.Ms Manugbor said the government through the Accra Metropolitan Assembly will not relent in the effort to ensure a clean and healthy environment and called for the support of the people.The Odododiodioo NDC Women's Organizer was reacting to a comment by the Chairman of the Kantamanto Branch of the Party, Mr Kwodwo Oppong Brako, about the level of sanitation and refuse, in the area in-spite-of the fact that traders were levied.Mr Oppong Brako also expressed concern about security and called for
better relations with the Railway, Accra District and Regional Police
Commands.
Alhaji Ahmed Rufai Abubakar, Vice Chairman called on the constituency
executives to involve the branch in their activities.He said the branch was inaugurated in 1992 and had many supporters but could not openly identify with the party for fear of intimidation.
Mr Osman Latif, a Constituency Executive, encouraged them to remain
steadfast in their support for the NDC and said the Party was investing in people by creating jobs for businesses to thrive.The Constituency Chairman, Mr Daniel Okai commended them for their
commitment to the party and promised to ensure that their concerns were addressed.
He emphasised the national character of the NDC and said: "We are one
family under one umbrella" and urged them to rally solidly behind the
government of President Atta Mills, who is "God fearing and father to all"
Mr Okai called on them to start preparing for the 2012 elections to
enable the NDC to retain power.Source: GNA
