Samuel Gyabah, a young man who grew up in Pokuase where most residents did not have adequate restrooms and had to depend on few public toilets, has successfully built over 4 000 restrooms for the poor.

According to a news report gathered by Pamela Ofori-Boateng, a contributor for Ghanaweb.com, Samuel used to work in a microfinance company and then decided that he would acquire skills to help his community.

By an interesting turn of events, he met a man in 2012 who introduced and trained him on how to design and install biodigester toilets.

In 2013, he ditched his microfinance job and devoted all his time to eradicating open defecation and promoting good sanitation practices among his people.

Samuel started building biodigester toilet facilities on subsidy for schools and individuals. His sanitation armies set up in junior high schools trained students to adopt good sanitation practices.

In 2015, he was nominated for Reach for Change organised by Viasat 1 TV and emerged the winner of a GHc50,000 cash prize that enabled him to properly set up an office and recruit staff.

Kennedy Agyapong has been on a spree to expose Ghanaian pastors who have hidden behind the name of God to perpetrate hideous deeds in their self-interests.

Justice Kweku Annan, the host of The Seat Show on Net2 TV who usually interviews Kennedy, spoke on the MP's behalf regarding the new fire they are about to unleash.
