Residents of Kambia District are facing a health crisis due to the alleged neglect of the Kambia District Council. The central area of the township has reportedly become a breeding ground for illness, with a rise in malaria cases attributed to unsanitary conditions.

Heaps of uncollected trash are a major concern, causing a foul odor and creating an unhealthy environment. Residents have complained to the Council Chairman, Mr. Mohamed Masarico Mansaray, the Chief Administrator, Waste Management Chairman, and councillors, but no action has been taken.

The community expresses disappointment and disillusionment with the Council’s inaction. They believe the neglect is harming their physical health and overall quality of life. Media personalities are calling on the Council to fulfill its duties and address the critical issues.

“The Council must take immediate action to clean the central area, address health concerns, and create a safe and healthy environment,” a media icon stated. “The people of Kambia deserve better.”

Residents are demanding accountability from the Council and urge them to prioritize the well-being of the community. They call for an end to the neglect and a swift response to the sanitation crisis.
