Wa, Sept. 29, GNA –
Butchers in Wa, the Upper West Regional capital, have been operating under
unhygienic conditions, something that is exposing meat consumers to health
risk.
Many of them are seen
selling their meat on slaps of decaying wood with houseflies all over place.
The butchers told
Ghana News Agency that there was nothing they could do to help the situation.
The only meat shop
allotted to them in the market did not have enough space to accommodate
everybody.
Mr. Mahamood Adams
said the assembly should not only be interested in collecting levies from them
but ensure that they were provided with a decent place to do their business.
Mr. James Arthur, the
Municipal Environmental Officer, said steps were being taken to deal with the
situation.
They would make sure
that the right things were done to protect public health.
