Ahafo Region: Mahama slams govt for not building toilet at Derma

Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama has criticized the Akufo-Addo administration for not constructing public toilets in Derma, in the Tano South District in the Ahafo Region.

On the performance tracker’s website, over 100 toilet facilities have been listed as having a 100% completion rate, compared to only three (3) regional hospitals listed as 100% completed.

Addressing a gathering at Derma as part of his campaign tour, Mr Mahama said the government’s failure to build the toilet facility was unacceptable.

He said “When I was told there were no toilet facilities here, I was surprised. Building toilets is the responsibility of the district assemblies.

They all fall under sanitation which the district assemblies take care off. When we were in government we were talkinng about schools, hospitals, expanding access to electricity. We left the toilet facilities to district assemblies. We will not waste time on this. I’ve asked him to look for a contractor. We wouldn’t wait to come into government before.

“The contractor should immediately begin work on construction of a 24-seater toilet facility. The traditional authorities also raised concerns about their school. The original aim of the schools we built was for them to be community day schools. But looking at the distance some students travel to the school. We will build dormitories as part of the eblocks we built
