The chairlady at Ngaiya Market in Nimikoro Chiedom Kono District maintained that a waste management vehicle was given to the market by an NGO during the tenure of the All Peoples Congress but for quite some time the said vehicle has lost in thin air.
Traders at the Ngaiya Market in Ngaiya town nimikoro Chiefdom Kono District outlined other challenges they are faced with.
The chairlady of the aforementioned market Elizabeth Yendeh told this medium that some of the challenges they are faced with include: the sky rocketed price of commodities, poor sales owing to what she described as the present difficult cost of living to name but a few.
She said prior to now a half bag of rice was sold one hundred and nighty thousand Leones but it has drastically increased to two hundred and fifty thousand Leones, a price which many average Sierra Leoneans cannot afford because of the present cost of living in the country and the world as a whole. Asked to know how do traders at the Ngaiya market managed their waste? Elizabeth Yendeh in a very disappointing mood noted that the site which they usually throw their waste has been sold to someone in Ngaiya town for the construction of a dwelling house wherein they have left with no option but to burn their waste which is a health challenge to people living in that part of the district.
