The parlance, “Cleanliness is next to godliness and it promotes good health system,” has been lacking in Paynesville City since Mayor Robert Bestman came to power.
At present, every nook of a number of communities in Paynesville is littered with garbage, while Mayor Bestman has allegedly assigned the sanitation department to Redlight market for greener pasture and financial gain.
Presently, garbage pollution is on the rise, due to the city corporation’s failure to regulate the garbage system.
Paynesville city community service refers to initiatives by the Paynesville City Corporation (PCC) and its partners to improve public health, environmental conditions, and youth employment. The PCC also focuses on community resilience through public health programs, waste management efforts with community-based enterprises, and fostering collaborations to address social challenges.
All of these services implementation are a fiasco under Mayor Bestman, as the city corporation focuses on arresting goods of auction girls and boys at Redlight’s commercial market and its environs, instead of the disposal of garbage from every community.
Successive mayors provided trash cans for garbage disposal in each community, which avoided garbage stockpile, but Mayor Bestman fails to do so.
As a result, garbage pollution is common in every community, especially at Du-Port Road, Kayman Town, Soul Clinic Community, and so on.
A scope of Kaymah Town’s citizens who spoke to the reporter has frowned on the poor leadership of Mayor Bestman, which has changed the city’s beauty. In the same manner, Du-Port Road community is littered with garbage as if no city mayor is governing.
“We are calling on the Paynesville City Corporation to come and take the huge garbage stockpile in front of our house,” tenants and landlady of a house littered with garbage on the Du-Port Road said.
A perfect garbage system restricts street thugs and residents from polluting the community with garbage. All eyes are on the Mayor to improve the sanitation system, instead of opening an entertainment center at Du-Port Road’s intersection.
As sanitation is part of President Joseph N. Boakai’s administration, it is mandatory that every arm of government implements it, but Mayor Bestman allegedly ignores it, displaying dress code and discussing garbage stockpile with laxity in the metropolis of Paynesville.
According to several residents of Paynesville, Mayor Bestman’s leadership is a curse and not a blessing for Paynesville City, as malaria and pollution is on the rampage.
However, the city corporation’s Public Relation Officer, Jeremiah K. Diggen, failed to comment on the matter, despite text messages and calls placed to him. Likewise, Mayor Bestman failed to comment.
