We recently received reports of a disturbing incident in the Mpraeso and Atibie communities, where a resident, Dora Ama Serwaa, was found to have contaminated a community well with feces. This irresponsible act has raised serious concerns among the community members and has prompted swift action from the local leadership.
Upon investigation and confirmation of the incident, the chiefs summoned Ama Serwaa and confronted her about her actions. She admitted to the offense and sought forgiveness from the community leaders. In response, the chiefs, led by the chief of Kwawu Mpraeso, Nana Ampadu Daaduam II, and the elders of the community, have levied heavy fines against Ama Serwaa to address the gravity of her actions.
Ama Serwaa has been ordered to pay a fine of GHS700, along with one sheep and a crate of eggs. Additionally, she has been mandated to construct a new well for the area. These penalties have been imposed to compensate for the damage caused and to deter any future misconduct of this nature.
It is commendable that the community leaders have taken swift and decisive action in addressing this issue. The assembly member for Mpraeso Akropong electoral area, Kwasi Mireku Somuah, has also commended the leadership for their proactive response.
This incident serves as a reminder to all residents to uphold proper conduct in their usage of communal facilities. It is essential that we all take responsibility for the well-being of our communities and ensure that such acts of negligence do not occur in the future.
We urge all community members to learn from this incident and to work together towards maintaining the cleanliness and safety of our shared resources. Let us all strive to foster a culture of respect and responsibility towards our communal facilities for the benefit of all.
