After submitting two letters to the office of the President and the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development calling on them to expedite action on their posting, 2011 and 20112 graduates of the Environmental Health Assistants School in the Upper East Region on Monday held a press conference in Bawku to reiterate their call on the president to expedite action on their posting.
The government established the Ho and Tamale Schools of hygiene through the Ministry of Health with the core mandate of training professional environmental health assistants.
This, government hopes will go a long way to educate the people of Ghana on sanitation and hygiene related disease and how to prevent them, as well as help monitor the effective maintenance of clean water and environment. After training and certifying the Environmental Heath Assistants, 514 of the graduates in the Upper East Region are currently at home without being posted.
Abode Ibrahim , the spokesperson of the graduates of the school of hygiene in the Upper East Region said they are getting frustrated and called on government to do something about the situation.
