Assembly hopeful La open defecation will end by 2016
Municipal chief executive of La Dade-Kotopon
Municipal Assembly Rita Odoley Sowah says she is
hopeful by 2016 all households within her
municipality will have toilet facilities to put a
stop to open defecation.

She expressed delight at the biofil toilet system
commissioned by Vice President, Paa Kwesi
Amissah-Arthur, which is being piloted in her
municipality. She was delighted about the high
interest shown by residents as they register to
purchase the facility.

Speaking on JoyNews sanitation crusade, 'Clean
Communities' on MultiTV, she said the biofil
toilet system is “portable and would fit into
smaller spaces” describing it as the perfect
toilet facility for households within her
municipality.

La Dade-Kotopon Municipal Assembly has been
battling with water crisis for some time now, and
was therefore excited the biofil toilet system
does not need enough water to operate. “The
water you use to wash your hands is all you need
to flush the toilet.”

Rita Odoley Sowah said to attract residents to
purchase the facility; arrangements have been made
to accept payment in installments.

She is confident this arrangement will encourage
landlords to equip their houses with toilets.

She also noted that the assembly will intensify
its fight against open defecation as well as
tackling other sanitation issues within the
municipality.
