Greater Accra Regional Minister Henry Quartey has hinted that the government intends to deploy some National Service personnel to assist in the deployment of the ‘Operation Clean Your Frontage’ campaign beginning in February of this year.
According to the Minister, the National Service personnel would complement the work of different Municipal Environmental Health Officers who would be summoning individuals and business organizations with unclean surroundings.
In describing tactics for the program’s execution, Greater Accra Regional Minister Henry Quartey said, “we have been talking to the NSS Secretariat, therefore very soon some National Service personnel will be released to join the police.”
“We need more hands to get the work done. We will communicate the details in due course. ”
With filth becoming a rising problem in most sections of the city, the government plans to enforce sanitation bye-laws beginning in February with the launch of the ‘Operation Clean Your Frontage’ project.
Individuals and corporate entities, for example, with filthy surroundings would be called and sanctioned by environmental health officials within two weeks.
In Accra, Henry Quartey bares his teeth at waste management companies over filth.
The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey, has expressed disappointment in the various waste management firms operating in the national capital, Accra.
According to the Minister, his recent tour of the city showed that most districts of Accra were covered in filth, despite the distribution of certain waste management facilities under the ‘Operation Clean Your Frontage’ project.
Mr. Quartey challenged Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives in Accra ahead of the program’s implementation in February to guarantee that the vicinities are free of filth.
“I need to send the caution to you that next week, we will be calling all waste management companies, and we will bring the media in, and we will embarrass you. It will not be a nice talk at all.”
