Tema, July 15, GNA – The Environmental Health Unit
of the Tema Municipal Assembly (TMA) has warned butchers
operating in unauthorized places in the municipality to cease or
face the law. Mr Peter Amuzu, Tema Municipal Health Officer, said
in an interview on Friday that of late many butchers have been
operating at places not designated for such business. He said officials from his outfit normally inspect the
animals slaughtered at designated places at the abattoir, the
former GIHOC offices and Tulaku in Ashaiman to certify their
wholesomeness. Mr Amuzu said the unit is issuing fresh licences to the
butchers to check such illegal practices and called on the leaders
to ensure that the exercise worked to perfection by exposing the
culprits. On Chop bar operators, he said the awareness
created through constant education had encouraged them to
voluntarily call at the office to register their business and be
issued with license. “The Unit registers 50 operators a week against about 10
previously.”
