STORY: George Folley Quaye, Wa

ZOOMLION Ghana Limited, a waste management company, has evacuated 321 tonnes of waste from a number of refuse sites in the Wa Municipality.
The sites included areas around Koroyiri, Children's Park, Tampalipaani, Jebogu, Domoyiri, Tagrayiri, Kamballi and Sandamuni.
According to the Upper West Regional Supervisor of the company, Mr Daniel Martey, the evacuated waste had been sent to the final disposal sites at Sombo, a suburb of Wa.
He said the company was determined to ensure a clean environment as a measure of improving the living conditions of the people.
"We believe that a clean environment will go a long way to eliminate or reduce certain sicknesses like malaria from our communities," he added.
Mr Martey advised residents of Wa to maintain a clean environment in order to be healthy at all times.
He gave the assurance that the company would extend the exercise to the rest of the districts in the region.
Mr Martey, therefore, called for support and co-operation from the district assemblies.
