The Environmental Officer of the Municipality, Alex Kwame Damptey, noted that,
open defecation, especially in and around Elmina, is largely due to the influx of fisher folks
from different parts of the country as a result of the vast landing bay at Elmina.
The Newly Bolgatanga East District Assembly will benefit
from Fifty (50) toilet facilities
from the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources to deal with the canker of
open defecation in the area.
