Saltpond Lower Town (C/R), Dec. 31, GNA - The Saltpond Lower Town (Nankesedo) Unit Committee led by the Assemblywoman for the area, Miss Abena Konadu, has embarked on the construction of a drainage system estimated at about 20 million cedis.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency, Miss Konadu said the area was prone to flooding, which bred mosquitoes leading to malaria.

Mr Issah Kassim, a member of the committee commended the people for their communal spirit and urged them to keep it up.
