Speaking to Soireenews reporter Alex Donkoh, the Member for Local government, Honorable Freda Prempeh expressed that although Savannah Region's is a carved out section of the Northern Region yet the contractors have given assurance to complete the projects by the next three months.

She revealed that since it's a developing Region, the Assembly and the Regional Coordinating Council have work to do through organising sensitization programs to educate the public on how they can manage Waste.
