Guatuahen of Shama builds ultra-modern lavatory for Dwomoh
The Guatuahen of Shama in the Shama District of the Western Region, Nana Kwamina Dekyi I, has built an ultra-modern water closet toilet for a farming community called Dwomoh in the Shama District.
At the commissioning ceremony, Nana Dekyi who is also known as Mr. Isaac Kwamina Afful, said open defecation was one of the sources of diseases like diarrhea, dysentery, and others, and so all communities should strive hard to build public places of convenience for the people.
He said overhead poly tanks have been provided so the facility could still be used in times of water shortage.
The District Chief Executive (DCE) of Shama, Mr. Ebenezer Dadzie said the district had about 58 communities, and the government alone could not offer development to all these communities at one time, so philanthropists like Nana Dekyi were doing well by complementing the government’s developmental agenda by putting up basic amenities.
He urged the Guatuahen to continue to identify the less developed communities and provide basic amenities to such communities to catch up with the developed areas.
The Assemblyman for Dwomoh Electoral Area, Mr. James Atieko said he approached the Guatuahen in 2020 for the facility but the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted and the construction.
“Today the people of Dwomoh are happy to have this modern facility, which means no more open defecation in the Dwomoh community,” he said.
Mr. Atieko disclosed that Nana Dekyi had earlier assisted the community in constructing bridges across some streams to create access roads to the community, adding that the community was grateful for the projects and encouraged the chief to do more.
