The member of parliament for Effutu, Hon. Alexander Afenyo- Markin, has handed over an ultramodern public toilet facility to the Osakam community in Winneba in fulfillment of his promise of infrastructural development agenda for the Effutu constituency.

Osakam is an indigenous fishing community in Winneba, about 200metres from the shore. It was one of the first settlement communities for the real natives of Effutu in times past. As an Urban rural community in dire need of infrastructural projects, Hon. Afenyo- Markin has pledged to facilitate the construction of these projects as part of the ‘Effutu Dream’.

He, on 5th May,2020, handed over the ultramodern public toilet to Osakam. It is a 20-seater water closet toilet facility which was constructed in a duration of two months to replace the old toilet that had become a death trap to the community .

At the commissioning event, the MP indicated that the toilet facility was part of the many projects he has earmarked for Osakam and other communities in the Effutu constituency. He asked them to take good care of the facility and make it open for use to everybody in Osakam. The people on their part could not hide their joy and appreciation to the MP for his benevolence and fulfillment of promises.

Hon Alexander Afenyo-Markin, further entreated his constituents to keep their guards on the Covid-19 by wearing nose masks, washing of their hands and using hand sanitizers in the national fight against the pandemic.

Report coming from Sunyani indicates that a man believed to be in his early 30s has been beaten to death by persons suspected to be commercial sex workers at Sunyani-Newtown in the Bono Region.

The sad report adds that the man ‘chopped’ one of the night workers but refused to pay for her services, promoting wild attacks from her colleagues.

According to local radio station Nimdee FM, after refusing to pay one sex worker, the others were called in to ‘punish’ him and that was when they visited mayhem on him and he lost consciousness.

3News also adds that Sunyani District Police was alerted and they have since arrested one of the sex workers and the landlord, who is said to be physically challenged, to aid investigations.

The house, where the incident happened, has since been locked up. The body of the deceased has since been sent to the Sunyani Regional Hospital morgue for autopsy.
