The DBI Assembly, under the leadership of Hon James Wor, should be commended for its commendable efforts in sanitation management. Sanitation is a vital aspect of governance, given its direct impact on public health. Effective sanitation management is indispensable to the well-being of citizens, as it helps prevent diseases and reduces healthcare costs. The adage "prevention is better than cure" is particularly relevant in this context. Over the years, sanitation and environmental management have remained a conundrum.

Whilst some think males or men are the ones who should maintain a better relationship, others on the contrary think females or women should be at a better position to maintain a smooth relationship. Marguerite Duras once said that "the thing that is between us is fascination and the fascination resides in our being alike. Whether you are a man or a woman, the fascination resides in finding out that we are alike" . What this insinuates is that, having the power or quality to command attractions, all individuals, whether males or females must see themselves alike so as to live harmoniously.
