While donating the containers to the City Mayor of Bamenda, the Chief of Centre of Les Brasseries, Mr Chi Francis enjoined the subdivisional Mayors and Market masters to ensure that water is always available in the containers and with soap close by
"It is the duty of Les Brasseries to see that this monster(coronavirus) is dealt with. It is exclusive to washing of hands and not a tap for people to fetch water" he noted
Paul Achobong, City Mayor of Bamenda explained that the brewery company had inspected the chosen markets and areas where the containers will be planted, chosen
"They should be protected. People should be responsible for it. We cannot allow this to be loose in the hands of the market people"
On behalf of the Mayors of three subdivisional councils, Mayor Chenwi Peter saluted the initiative of the company
"We will ensure that water and soap is always available for this hand washing exercise. May other brewery companies copy this great step" he noted
