The people of Atuntumerem in the Birim South District of the Eastern Region, over the weekend, called on their assembly to provide more social facilities to the community.
“This would help enhance the people’s standard of living”, they said.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at his palace, Nana Amprofi Appiah-Kubi, V, Krontihene of Atuntumere in the Kotoku Traditional Area, said for several years, development has eluded the town.
He called on the assembly and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), to assist the town to improve upon the unhygienic sanitation situation in the area.
He said the community needed a permanent KVIP, to prevent people from defecating indiscriminately; and refuse containers, to reduce the rate of littering in the area.
