The Ledzokuku Municipal Assembly has embarked on a major clean-up exercise within the Akro East and Akro West Electoral Areas ahead of the 2025 Teshie Homowo Festival.
The exercise, held on Monday, August 11, was led by the Presiding Member of the Assembly, Samuel Kwashie Tawiah, who represented the Municipal Chief Executive.
He was joined by Charles Ashie Kotey, Assembly Member for Agblezaa and Chairman of the Sanitation and Environmental Health Sub-Committee; Joseph Tetteh Nortey, also known as “Walamantse,” Assembly Member for Akro East; and Awula Anita Ayorkor Adjetey, the Municipal Cultural Officer.
Mr. Tawiah explained that the initiative aimed to promote environmental sanitation during the festive season and beautify the township in preparation for the celebrations.
On the sidelines, Mr. Kotey noted that similar exercises had already been conducted as part of efforts to implement the President’s “Reset Agenda” on sanitation, championed by President John Dramani Mahama.
Awula Anita Ayorkor Adjetey highlighted the importance of maintaining a clean environment to attract tourists, particularly during the Homowo season.
“Tourists are sure to send a good name when they experience hospitality in a clean environment,” she said.
