He noted that due to the over 200 cases recorded last year in the sub-metro, they are educating residents on how to keep their environment clean to reduce it.

"We are embarking on sensitization programmes for market women, toilet operators and in churches to educate them to keep their surroundings clean to prevent the spread of cholera" he added
