The government is not asking for your money; just fix the little necessary things in your corners; stop connecting your sewage system to the drainage alignment; stop discharging your waste into the drainage alignment. Stop building on the drainage alignment so that the drainages can remain clean always; the rains are coming, and we must be prepared,” he added.

She promised that traders in the market and around the re-established channel would be compelled to promote good sanitation practices and make it a priority from now on.
