He urged residents to make cleanliness and health a collective responsibility, stressing the importance of keeping the environment clean to prevent typhoid and other sanitation-related diseases in the regional capital.
The Minister further advised the health authorities to prioritize public health education and adopt preventive measures to safeguard the wellbeing of citizens.
He was accompanied by the Oti Regional Political Coordinator, Hon. Sulemana Mumuni, who also encouraged residents to support the government’s ongoing efforts to maintain a clean and healthy environment.
Hon. John Kwadwo Gyapong, the Oti Regional Minister, presented over 90 water pump machines, previously seized from illegal mining (galamsey) sites, to the cooperative farmers’ association in the region.
The machines were handed over to the farmers to support irrigation and boost agricultural productivity in the area.
Speaking at the event, the minister said the water pumps will enable farmers to irrigate their farms more effectively, reducing dependence on rainfall and increasing crop productivity. Mr. Gyapong has called on farmers in the region to form cooperative associations to facilitate access to government support and resources.
The Dean of Municipal and District Chief Executives (MDCE’s) in Oti region, Mr. Prosper Addo, has commended the government and Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOF) for releasing seized water pumps to nine regions which Oti was not left out.
The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Krachi West noted that the water pumps will help address irrigation challenges faced by farmers in the region.
The MCE expressed gratitude to the government for repurposing the seized water pumps to support farmers, rather than letting them go to waste.
The chairman of the Vegetable Cooperative Farmers Association in Nkwanta South, Mr. William Kwame, has expressed optimism about improving vegetable farming in the Municipality this year. With the support from the ministry of Food and Agriculture, they are poised to increase their productivity.
In a significant move to enhance agricultural productivity, the Oti Regional Minister, Hon. John Kwadzo Gyapong, today handed over 100 water pumping machines to farmers across all nine constituencies within the Oti Region. The initiative is designed to provide crucial irrigation support, enabling farmers to cultivate a wider variety of crops and increase their yields. This includes essential produce like tomatoes, okra, cabbage, and carrots, with the ultimate goal of strengthening Ghana’s food security.
During the handover ceremony, Hon. Gyapong addressed the beneficiaries, emphasizing the importance of responsible management of the newly provided equipment. In an interview with XYZ News reporter Ibrahim Nsor, the Minister urged the constituencies and their cooperative groups to utilize the water pumping machines effectively. He stressed the need to maximize agricultural output, ensuring that the region benefits fully from this investment. Hon. Gyapong also assured the farmers of ongoing support from the government, signaling a commitment to further agricultural development. He highlighted his personal connection to farming, expressing his desire to see the farmers thrive.
The event also featured remarks from Hon. Prosper Kwaku Addo, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Krachi West and the Dean of Municipal and District Chief Executives (MDCEs) in the Oti Region. Hon. Addo commended the Minister of Agriculture and the Oti Regional Minister for their impactful efforts in promoting agriculture within the region. He pledged that the MDCEs, representing their respective constituencies, would actively oversee the proper utilization of the water pumping machines by the cooperative groups.

The Oti Regional Director of Health Services, Dr. Kofi Amo-Kodieh, has stated that there have been no confirmed deaths from the recent typhoid outbreak in the region.
He attributed the absence of fatalities to timely education on the disease and prompt reporting by patients to health facilities.
Speaking in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Dr. Amo-Kodieh said:
“So far, we have no record of anyone dying from this outbreak. Our health education campaigns have helped people seek care on time, which is crucial in managing typhoid.”
Asked about reports suggesting that lives have been lost, he clarified.
“As a medical professional, when someone dies, I rely on the official medical cause of death. I have not received any information confirming that anyone has died from this outbreak.”
His comments come after the Oti Regional Minister, John Kwadwo Gyapong, indicated that the surge in typhoid cases has claimed the lives of some prominent figures, including a traditional leader and a former Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Dambai.
Mr. Gyapong described the situation in the regional capital as “bad” and “scary,” warning that the disease is spreading rapidly.
Responding to these concerns, Dr. Amo-Kodieh urged caution in attributing deaths to typhoid without proper medical confirmation.
He stated, “People may assume a death is caused by typhoid, but the only way to know the exact cause is through a medical certificate of cause of death. Until that is confirmed, we cannot say for certain.”
As part of an initiative to enhance public health and environmental sustainability, the Oti Region has inaugurated a Regional Sanitation Taskforce in collaboration with environmental health officers.
The event, themed “Strengthening Sanitation Law Enforcement for a Cleaner and Healthier Oti Region,” was led by Oti Regional Minister John Kwadwo Gyapong and marks a proactive approach to addressing pressing sanitation challenges in the region.
This initiative aligns with President Mahama’s agenda, “Resetting the Country,” which emphasizes renewed focus on development, inclusivity, and sustainability.
In his address, the minister underscored the importance of sanitation in promoting public health and community well-being. He urged stakeholders, including Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives as well as Coordinating Directors, to support and collaborate with the taskforce.
The key objectives of the taskforce are to:
Strengthen sanitation law enforcement and compliance
Improve waste management and disposal practices
Enhance public education and awareness of sanitation and hygiene
Promote community-led initiatives and participation
“Sanitation should be a communal priority,” the minister said, encouraging residents to take ownership of their surroundings by actively participating in cleanliness initiatives.
Comprising environmental health officers and community leaders, the taskforce will tackle issues such as waste management, open defecation, and water quality. It will also launch educational campaigns to raise awareness about hygiene and encourage active citizen participation.
“An educated community is a clean community,” the minister reiterated, stressing the need for outreach programs to inform citizens about the benefits of proper sanitation.
Regional Environmental Health Officer Cynthia Sekyere also urged residents to support the initiative to make Oti one of Ghana’s cleanest regions. She warned that poor sanitation leads to challenges such as choked drains, indiscriminate dumping of refuse, open defecation, and public health crises.
Confident about the initiative’s impact, she expressed optimism that the taskforce would help address these issues significantly.
The inauguration of the sanitation taskforce underscores the region’s commitment to enforcing sanitation laws, protecting public health, and promoting a culture of cleanliness and accountability.
