The District Chief Executive (DCE) of Sawla, Sinkina Saaka, has appealed to sanitation agencies to provide mobile latrines for displaced Gbinyiri residents currently being sheltered at the Sawla District Police Headquarters in the Savannah Region.

Speaking to Citi News, he explained that the lack of proper toilet facilities has forced the displaced persons to resort to open defecation.

“There is no place of convenience here. All over the place is littered with human excreta. There is a need for us to get at least a mobile toilet facility so that the people here can easily ease themselves,” he lamented.

The Sawla DCE also called for urgent health support from the Ghana Health Service, stressing the importance of deploying health workers to attend to the displaced individuals.

“We want to contact the Ghana Health Service and the District Hospital to provide health services to the people here. It will go a long way to help us. We are even lucky that it has not rained, else it would have been a very bad situation,” he added.
