Naa Abudu Alhassan was speaking during an environmental sanitation durbar organized by Zoomlion Ghana Limited in the Doromo community to sensitize the people on the need to change from practices that negatively affects serenity of the environment to enable the people enjoy good health and sound living.

He said people who abuse the environment must be severely dealt with by the District assemblies to serve as a warning to others.

The event, which brought all activities in the Doromo community to a standstill all afternoon, was attended by a large crowd made up of traditional authorities, women, children, assemblymen and officials of the Regional Environmental Health Directorate.

The chief commended Zoomlion for helping keep the Doromo township and its environs clean and appealed to the company to find a way of setting up a small recycling plant in the region so as to help the plastic waste menace Ghanaian communities face.
