Northern Region: Rejuvenate Communal Labor In Our Communities – Assembly Member
The area has witnessed series of floods in past years but this year’s floods are enormous which necessitated the Assemblyman to organize the communal labor to distill the drainage system.
The Assembly Member for Nalun electoral area, Hon Adam Ibrahim Nabla is calling for the rejuvenation of communal labour into communities in the country.
Hon Nabla of the Nalun electoral area which is under the Tamale Metropolitan Assembly in the Northern region told that during the era of active communal labour, there was absolute cleanliness in every part of the country yet negligence has left the country in filth.
“I want to call on my colleagues to bring back communal labour in our communities to help clean the environment before the central government comes in to complement our effort,” Hon Nabla said.
His comments came during a communal labour exercise to distil one of the choked drainage systems in the area on Sunday, September 19, 2021.
The drainage system has not been distilled for about 6 years running and as a result causing floods any time there is a heavy downpour.
The area has witnessed series of floods in past years but this year’s are enormous which necessitated the Assemblyman to organize the communal labour to take out the drainage system.
Many people have lost their property to floods in the area and are happy the Assemblyman has brought up the idea of distilling the drainage system.
“I want to call on my colleagues to bring back communal labour in our communities to help clean the environment before the central government comes in to complement our effort” Hon Nabla added.
Most of the residents expressed their ugly experiences during heavy rains and some said their properties were destroyed by the floodwaters while interacting with Abdul Sammed Gurundari of Soireenews.
Some Assembly members from other electoral areas were also present to support the communal labour including the Assemblyman for Dakpemfon electoral area, the Assemblyman for Bulpela electoral area, the Assemblyman for Nyohini North electoral area, and Assemblyman for Yong-Dakpemyili electoral area.
