THE chief of Oyoko in the New Juaben Municipality, Nana Kodua Kesse II, has appealed to the residents of the area to keep their surroundings clean so as to stay healthy and strong.
This, he said, would enable them to contribute meaningfully to the area’s socio-economic development and that of the country.
He was addressing residents of the area after a two-hour clean-up exercise by the chiefs and people of the town over the weekend.
The exercise formed part of activities to mark the 30th anniversary of the enstoolment of Nana Kodua Kesse as the Oyokohene.
According to him, while the government was determined to make quality healthcare services more affordable through the introduction of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), the scheme had, since its establishment, come under severe financial constraints.
He attributed this problem to the abuse of the scheme by the people, most of whom reported at the various health facilities with sanitation-related diseases such as cholera, malaria, typhoid fever, dysentery and many others.
He, therefore, appealed to the people to strictly adhere to environmental cleanliness to enable them to set good examples to their children.
