The MCE making his remarks<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE MUNICIPAL Chief Executive (MCE) for Okaikwei North (ONMA),
\nBoye Laryea, has disclosed plans for what he called \u201cSanitation Taskforce\u201d in
\nbasic schools within the municipality.<\/p>\n

This forms part of efforts to curb the poor sanitation
\nsituation in the municipality.<\/p>\n

The taskforce would be made of selected pupils who will act as
\npolice personnel to identify and report to the appropriate authorities; persons
\nwho go about littering the schools and their surroundings.<\/p>\n

At a ceremony to mark the first anniversary celebration since the assembly was created, the MCE revealed that pupils would be made ambassadors of sanitation in their schools and respective environments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cWe will make sure that pupils will learn how to create an
\nenvironment where people will not continue with this attitude [of filthiness].<\/p>\n

\u201cIn every school, we are going to create what we call a
\ntaskforce with the pupils in charge\u201d, he stated.<\/p>\n

The MCE also charged management of schools in the
\nmunicipality to take five minutes of their lesson hours to teach on hygiene and
\nproper sanitation management.<\/p>\n

Recounting when inspection was conducted in basic schools, where
\nteachers checked the uniforms, finger nails and other parts of pupils for filth
\nand punished those found wanting. Boye Laryea asked teachers to reintroduce
\nsuch activities as it would instill discipline in the pupils.<\/p>\n

He said it is sad a development, that Ghana is now struggling
\nto cope with the menace of poor sanitation, while other countries are
\ngenerating income from their filth.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday as we sit here, we don\u2019t know the direction as to how
\nwe can arrest this situation [of filth]. We are still not able to come to terms
\nwith the fact that it is killing us\u201d, he bemoaned.<\/p>\n

Pledging in his capacity as MCE of the Assembly to lead the
\nfight against filth, Boye Laryea said: \u201cI am declaring Okaikwei North as one of
\nthe assemblies that would lead the fight [against sanitation]. And together
\nwith my administration, we are going to vigorously take charge of the
\nsanitation issue in Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also called for attitudinal change and condemned the
\nincidence where people take refuse from their homes and dump them in drains and
\non streets while others also ease themselves and throw into other people\u2019s
\nhomes.<\/p>\n

Prior to the ceremony, the MCE together with some pupils from
\nselected basic schools embarked on a float displaying placards on sanitation.<\/p>\n

They were welcomed to the St. Charles Lwanga Catholic School
\nby the Cadet Corps with a beautiful display of military drills.<\/p>\n

There were cultural dance performances as well as drama
\npresentation by other groups of students.<\/p>\n

The MCE also donated litter collecting devices to the schools to aide in the sanitation project.<\/p>\n
