The special delegation from the municipality of Gaoua launched a sanitation operation on Friday June 14, 2024 in order to clean the living environment of the Gaoualais during this winter season.
Very early in the morning of Friday June 14, 2024, Gaoualais equipped with shovels, brooms, rakes and dabas stormed the large market to clean up the interior and surroundings of said market.
This sanitation operation was initiated by the special delegation from Gaoua and will last 72 hours. Other operations will be carried out over the coming days and weeks with the aim of cleaning up their living environment. ‘Today we are at the launch but the cleaning operations will extend throughout the winter period,’ underlined the president of the special Gaoua delegation, Siaka Ouattara.
According to him, a team which will be put in place to continue activities and support the sanitation initiatives already observed in the city’s districts. In addition, this day is part of the sanitation activities launched by the governme
nt. According to him, this ‘Gaoua clean’ operation started from the observation that weather forecasts predict high rainfall above the average of the previous year. ‘This is why we decided to clean the blocked pipes in order to prevent possible flooding in the city,’ he said. Continuing, he affirmed that restoring one’s living environment is everyone’s business. This is why Helene Sana, a trader at the large Gaoua market, said she was doing her bit to improve sanitation around this market. ‘In a few places in the country we have seen flooding. This is why we went out to at least clean up the market,’ he indicated, while welcoming this initiative of the special delegation which makes it possible to clean up the living environment in order to avoid diseases.
