is to support the President to achieve his vision of &#8220;Making Accra the Cleanest City in Africa&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The Clean Accra Project, he further explained, is not limited to his outfit\u2019s core activities of sweeping and collection of waste, \u201cbut more importantly, we have moved further to intensify the desilting of drains and painting all road kerbs in the central business district (CBD) of the national capital\u2014Accra.<\/p>\n<p>Painting the road kerbs, he indicated, will complement efforts at beautifying Accra. <\/p>\n<p>According to him, painting of the kerbs was done when a festive occasion was approaching, \u2018but now what is new is that we are doing it on regular basis.\u2019   <br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u2018We are doing this till the end of the year so that we ensure that Accra is clean, green and healthy,\u2019 he disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>In ensuring that especially hawkers do not make the kerbs dirty after painting, Mr. Morgan Acquah said this was the more reason why his Zoomlion had to partner Assembly to strictly enforce sanitation bye-laws and bring to book offenders.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018And with AMA strictly enforcing the sanitation bye-laws obviously our attitudinal problem towards the environment would be minimized to the barest minimum,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Though the project started with the central business district of Accra, the Accra Zone Zoomlion GM revealed that they have equally covered areas including Madina-Adentan highway, Trade Fair and Mallam.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mr. Morgan Acquah, beginning next month the project would be replicated in the other regions.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2026for now we have started with Accra and we will be doing the whole of Accra,\u2019 he assured.<\/p>\n<p>On resources for this huge project, Mr. Morgan Acquah stressed that Zoomlion has procured enough resources to ensure that the project becomes a success.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u2018There are pick-ups, wheelbarrows among many other waste management equipment.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>He also used the opportunity to urge Ghanaians to ensure that \u2018we, in our own small ways, also play our parts in ensuring that Ghana becomes a clean and health country.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 55 updated by: 55 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Thursday, 1 March 2018 Source: www.ghanaweb.com 2018-03-01 Zoomlion and AMA have joined forces to clean Accra If there is any waste management company in this country that wants to see government achieve its vision of a clean Accra, then that company is no other than Zoomlion Ghana Limited (ZGL).
