Appeal For Waste Disposal Vehicle
By Lamin Fatty
Mr. Demba Mballow, the Head of the Cleaning Section of the Basse Area Council, has strongly appealed to the ‘appropriate authorities to provide them with trucks to enable the council to perform cleansing services. Mr. Mballow made these remarks recently in an interview with this reporter at a recent cleansing exercise organized by a group of Red Cross volunteers and Rafam members in Basse.
According to Mr. Mballow the only truck that they used for the collection and disposal of the waste was not functioning. While urging the council to maintenance the truck, Mr. Mballow also advised the general public, particularly the people residing along the market and the police station area, to be responsible for the removal of their household waste by paying donkey carts to dispose them.
For his part, Mr. Mustapha Manneh, one of the only four people responsible for waste disposal with donkey carts, said they face difficulties because to the breakdown of the council vehicles and coupled with limited staff.
An attempt to talk to the Governor of URR and the chairman of the interim management committee of the Basse Area council, Mr. Omar Khan, could not materialise as he was said to have traveled to Banjul.
Foroyaa will however seek the opinion of the Governor on the issue.
