The inhabitants of Perai in the Tumana Constituency, Upper River Region through their National Assembly Member Foday NM Drammeh are requesting for a clean drinking water.
On his Facebook post, Honorable Drammeh stated that access to clean drinking water is not a privilege but a right.
“One of the only source of water for the people of Perai Tenda a hand pump, and we believe it has served it purpose. If we look at the image properly and we will see a lot of rusty materials coming from the pump and it has definitely raised concerns or questions of whether the water is fit for human consumption” he said
He added that “The village is found in the Upper River Region South, with a population closed to 2000 inhabitants, it has two schools and a health post for the entire catchment area, and it has a cattle population also closed to 1000. Farming is the main if not the only activity that they are engaged in for their survival” he explained.
