Moyo district leaders have cautioned IRS spray operators against mishandling the equipment used for the spraying exercise urging the operators to mind of their health including the communities, citing that the chemicals are dangerous to human life.
Amoko Stephen, the District Health Officer in charge of Environment has urged the spray operators to do their work, account for the resources and inform in case of any challenge.
“Spray operators be committed and work as a team and account for the resources that are handed under your management so do your role as expected and incase of anything, let us know as your supervisors and we shall come in to address the challenges,” said Amoko.
Equally David Komakech the district internal security officer warns that the chemicals should be kept out of reach of people to avoid uncertainties happening.
“Am giving you this as a kind of caution please my IRS operators avoid being careless with these chemicals they are very dangerous and there are some people who are trying hard to find any opportunity to get these chemicals and keep for other uses which are very negative in the community not everyone has a good heart some may use these chemicals to take other people’s life,” he cautioned.
Additionally he urged the operators to desist from drinking alcohol to accomplish their task. “Some of you after leaving from work because you are used to drinking, you abandon these spray gadgets and go to drink and this will affect the coverage because if we want to cover maybe fifteen households in a day we end up covering less because you have taken three hours drinking,” Komakech explained.
Ministry of health has allocated 14,160 bottles of insecticide to the targeted 33,645 households sprayable in Moyo district.
