Henry Quartey, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, has urged the metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies (MMDAs) to make every effort to maintain the cleanliness of all public areas at all times, especially during the holiday season.
He clarified while speaking at the second meeting of the Greater Accra Regional Co-ordinating Council (GARCC) in Accra on Wednesday that as Accra is the nation’s capital and will be the main draw during the season, it needs to be kept clean.
“Sanitation and waste management in the various MMDAs continue to be a challenge despite the Regional Coordinating Council’s strategic intervention with the “Let’s make Greater Accra Work” agenda and the Operation Clean your frontage (OCYF) campaign.
“As we approach the Christmas festivities, I entreat all MMDAs to ensure that all public places are kept clean,” he said.
In accordance with Section 191(I) of the Local Governance Act, 2016 (Act 936), the GARCC met with MMDCEs, Presiding Members, and Assembly members to address topics relevant to the region and to explain the work that has been done in the region.
