Hon.
Anaba used the occasion to educate the Muslims on the deadly Ebola disease
which has rocked some West African States and Cholera which is fast gaining
root in some parts of the country.
He advised
the Muslims to be mindful that Ebola is derived from the consumption of some
species of bush meat and bats and called on them to refrain from the
consumption of bush meats though they are Muslims.
Touching
on the spread of Cholera in the country, Hon. Anaba said Cholera is derived
from unhygienic or insanitary conditions and environment and advised them to
always wash their hands with soap after every activity which requires the use
of the hand and entreated them to always consume meals which are warm or hot.
Hon.
Anaba said the Tano South District has registered 26 cases of Cholera out of
which 7 has been confirmed with 2 deaths and called on all to guard against the
further spread of the disease.
