FLOOD FREE, CHOLERA FREE FREETOWN!
Freetown is fortunate as this rainy season passes to have avoided severe flooding, the monthly national cleaning day, combined with the Mayor's strategic deep clean of problem areas and flooding hotspots means water now flows freely through Freetown. And we're encouraged to hear from the Strategic Communications Division of the Office of the First Lady that no cases of cholera have been reported this rainy season, another consequence surely of our cleaner streets, gulleys and gutters.
From Wellington to Congo Cross Junction, Rokpur and across Freetown, Sierra Leone citizens join local and national government agencies on the first Saturday of the month to keep their streets and neighbourhoods clean.
We do observe, however, that as the cleaning day finishes in Freetown many citizens continue to drop their dirty seemingly without consequence. Wouldn't it make everyone's job that little bit easier if we didn't litter our streets so readily?
