Water borne-disease outbreak looms in four communities in the Kofiko-Baanafor Electoral Area in the Jaman South District of the Brong Ahafo Region, as the communities share water with pigs daily.
The said communities are namely: Agyemankrom, Nkansakrom, Alhajikrom and Sekyerekrom. The communities have no borehole and depend on River Tromia in the area which normally drives up in the dry season.
The Assembly Member for Kofiko-Baanafor Electoral Area, Madam Siata Watara in an interview said she has made several complains to the Jaman South Assembly to provide the areas with boreholes but help is yet to come.
“At the end of every year there is something we call needs assessment so I have sent everything concerning water situation so when you go to the assembly right now there is an information that,” Madam Watara revealed.
She added that the people are really suffering and something must be done immediately to avert any calamity.
Madam Siata Watara called on NGOs to come to the aid of the community as the outbreak of water borne-diseases looms in the four communities.
