Exercise-Cleaning KDU

news, story, article

New Abirem (E/R), July 20, GNA – Nana Raymond
Damptey, the Birim North District Chief Executive (DCE), has warned that the
assembly would prosecute people caught littering in the district. 

He said the assembly would provide 40
dustbins to be placed at various places- streets, market and the lorry station;
to ensure easy access to bins.

Nana Damptey said this when he addressed
residents of New Abirem at the launch of the environmental care campaign and a
clean-up exercise at New Abirem in the Eastern Region.

Before the launch of the programme at the
Abirem lorry station, the residents cleaned and weeded around the New Abirem
Hospital, some principal streets, desilted the gutters and cleaned the New
Abirim market and station.

Nana Damptey appealed to leaders in the
community not to come pleading on behalf of people arrested for sanitation
offences.

He urged the officials of the District
Assembly to be firm and not to allow their family and friends to influence them
when it comes to enforcement of the sanitation laws.

Nana Damptey said if all the people would be
law abiding and be conscious about the environment, it would be no need to meet
once a month to clean the environment.

Mr John Frimpong Osei, the Member of
Parliament (MP) for the Abirem Constituency, said he would collaborate to help
move the campaign to other communities in the district so that the public can
adopt the concept and be sanitation conscious.

Nana Amo Kyeretwie, the Abiremhene, said he
would support efforts to bring all the stakeholders together to ensure that the
society stays clean.    

He said the traditional authorities are
engaging the assembly to provide street lights at all vantage points in New
Abirim to ensure the safety of the people at night.
