THE Ledzokuku-Krowor Municipal Assembly (LEKMA) has presented five new motorbikes valued at GH¢11,000 to its Environmental Health Officers to facilitate their work.

Presenting the vehicles to the beneficiaries at a brief ceremony at the Assembly’s premises last Friday, Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Mr Daniel Amartey Mensah, said the motorbikes were the first five out of the 10 his outfit had promised to provide to the hardworking environmental officers.

He said the Assembly opted for motorbikes to enable the staff to easily reach out to residents and homes and in areas where vehicles could not access, as part of the assembly’s strategies of ensuring a clean community.

Mr Daniel Mensah entreated the beneficiaries to keep the bikes in good condition  all the time so that they would last long.

The Municipal Environmental Health, Mr Samuel Agblo, who received the items on behalf of the department commended  the assembly for the gesture.

 He also courted the assistance of the assembly to procure a vehicle for the unit to aid mobility in their daily assignments.

Mr Agblo advised the public to endeavour to assist the assembly and partner agencies in their quest to rid the municipality of filth.

He  gave the assurance that the unit would wage a war on commuters and traders  who were fond of littering.
