The Member of Parliament for Ablekuma West, Mrs Ursula Owusu Ekuful on Saturday inspected a 9-seater toilet facility to ascertain if work has been completed and ready to be handed over to the Dansoman Divisional Police Command.
This comes barely a month after she commissioned a one storey building as an office complex for the Ablekuma West Municipal Assembly (AbMWA), inspected the refurbished Dansoman Post Office and the Kit Kat Polyclinic site earmarked for the construction of a maternity block for the Dansoman Polyclinic.
Interacting with journalists after inspecting the project Mrs Owusu Ekukul who doubles as Communications Minister said the facility will go a long way to provide a congenial place for people who throng the command for various services to attend to nature’s call.
She said, “Hitherto they would have to either pee or defecate openly and that wasn’t very good. The fact that you have a complaint to make or you have some business at the Police Station doesn’t mean you can’t do that in dignity.”
Urging the hierarchy of the command to ensure that the facility is kept clean all the time, Mrs Owusu Ekuful assured that the Ablekuma West Municipal Assembly “stands ready to assist them if they need its assistance to maintain the facility.”
The Dansoman Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent, Isaac Kwadwo Asante on his part pledged to ensure the facility is kept clean, saying it will help the command in responding effectively to their clients’ desire to attend to nature.
“The responsibility is on us to do that,” he stated.
Mrs Owusu Ekuful also paid a visit to her constituents in Glefe to among other things inspect the progress of work on a public toilet facility she is constructing along the sea defence line for the indigenes.
She was, however, greeted with a nauseating spectacle where residents left a huge heap of rubbish at the construction site.
Speaking to journalists Mrs Owusu Ekuful could not feign her anger stating despite several public education on the negative effect of indiscriminate dumping “it seems some of the residents are intransigent. Just two weeks ago that heap of rubbish in front of the public toilet facility we are constructing was not there.”
