Zohzoh, the Afro beat social activist musician currently based in Ghana, has stepped in again with another sanitation Campaign song: ?Borla Borla Scatter Scatter?.
A statement issued by Mr Yaw Boateng, a Ghanaian musician based in New Zealand and leader of the group said ?Borla is a popular jargon used to describe waste and refuse in our country?.
?With the recent news on Ebola in some West African countries creating fear and panic, I think is about time we nationally pay attention to cleaning our environment to stop a bigger outbreak of diseases, already cholera is ?catching up on us?.?
?What prompted Zohzoh to compose this song? While driving through the streets of Accra and other parts of the country, observing the numerous amount of litter and trash that has been sprinkled on our roads, backyards, seaside, riverside, gutters being constantly blocked, I became concerned about the poor sanitation in Ghana.?
The Group recounted that the Greater Accra Regional Health Directorate had announced that since June, 2014, the region recorded 10,000 cholera cases with 51 deaths.
According to the Directorate health centres within the region are recording about 300 cases daily and over 1,000 cases weekly, with a lot of them from occurring in slums, business districts and places where people have poor access to toilet facilities and potable water.
The statement said the Group decided to compose a song by using a popular saying amongst Ghanaians, ?Borla? song title ?Borla Borla Scatter Scatter Everywhere? as an educational campaign song to keep the country clean.
?This is a national responsibility for all, and I wish the government can declare a national day of cleaning for everybody in Ghana before BORLA kills us all,? the statement said.
