Pujehun District chairman of the ruling All People's Congress (APC), Mohamed Dabeni, has called for “complete intervention of all political parties in the fight to defeat the Ebola Virus Disease in Pujehun” in the south of the country.
The local politician also urged support from other development partners to work with their government in the fight to eradicate the epidemic in the entire country.
He encouraged them to take the fight away from politics for the lives of residents in the district, adding “Ebola does not ask for political parties and we can only defeat it through unity.”
He said “in terms of conflict you prepare for peace because the Ebola crisis has completely undermined development agenda and has also eaten into the fabric of the country.”
He said his government was very much proactive in the fight to combat the dreadful disease, adding that he had always worked closely with the district taskforce.
He pleaded with the district health management team to deliver on the best service to their people and save lives.
Dabeni commended local authorities for the enforcement of bye laws and encouraged them to work with the security forces to see that the borders along the Mano River Union were being manned properly to avoid illegal crossing from Liberia.
