Edo plans mobile courts for sanita

EDO State government has said it plans to inaugurate mobile courts to try environmental sanitation offenders in the state.

The government said the rate of environmental sanitation indiscipline in the state was alarming; a development it said, led to the plan to set up the courts.

Speaking during the inauguration of the state Technical Committee on Environmental Sanitation at Government House Wednesday, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Environment and Public Utilities, Major Lawrence Loye (rtd), said the state would no longer tolerate careless handling of environmental matters.

He said: “We are working on introduction of mobile courts to address issues of environmental sanitation offences, where offenders will be tried in accordance with the law.

The magistrates will be in the mobile court, we will move from street to street and what we will be looking at is to bring standard in the state to an acceptable level comparable with what is obtainable in other parts of the world. We want to see the cities sparkling neat and it won’t be business as usual.

“My advice is to encourage all to work as a team, build the structure of enforcement and address illegality associated with enforcement. No enforcement team will be allowed in any local council area without the supervision of the technical committee, to avoid cases of extortion and other untoward acts”.
