E-TANKAS PILOT IN 3 DISTRICTS
The Western Regional Coordinating Council under the leadership of Honorable Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah conceived the idea of digitizing the operations of the Environmental Health Departments in the 14 Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies in the Western Region of Ghana. This led to the development of a mobile and web application titled, E-TANKAS, a short form for the Electronic Town Council to transform the work of the environmental health work from the manual way of managing and reporting waste nuisance in society into the electronic platform. After short briefings to Management members in each of the three Assemblies we visited, the team set to the grounds with the field officers to use the application in order to appreciate how the system aligns with their traditional ways of administering their operations on the field. Surprisingly, the team accosted a number of the community members who were in the process of violating the rules already, the field officers used the application to capture some of them, and warnings were sanctioned to them to desist from those acts since the main implementation will not spare them anymore when they are caught again.
An example of such nuisance was a young lady of about twenty-three (23) years of age who was seen engaging in open defecation at Aboadze in the Shama District, again at Wassa East in Daboase a certain community was seen very dirty with their waste dustbin site left unattended to and the whole community left malodorously, the system was used to capture the offenders by one of the field officers where the offender was cautioned to desist from such acts since they will be prosecuted in the coming days when the systems get to the final implementation by the District Environmental Health Unit. Among other offenses that were captured on the field trip, in Effiakwasimintsim around Effiakuma No.9, a household was seen in a very untidy manner which the system would have facilitated their arrest and prosecution.
