“KEEA was among the municipalities in the Central Region that suffered a lot during the cholera outbreak two years ago, hence we vouched to stop open defecation,” he added.

By this decision, KEEA set up a taskforce to arrest people who practice open defecation in the area.

According to Mr Damptey, The campaign to end open defecation in KEEA was intensified in the municipality after the cholera outbreak two years ago.

Mr Damptey said the Assembly member is called Honourable Clemens.
