The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo, has emphasized the need for collective action from stakeholders, including local assemblies, traditional leaders, religious organizations, and the private sector, to support the government\u2019s periodic clean-up exercises.<\/p>\n
According to her, sustained sanitation efforts will help maintain a cleaner environment and curb the spread of communicable diseases such as cholera.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media ahead of a scheduled clean-up exercise at the Madina Market, Madam Ocloo revealed that President John Dramani Mahama is set to launch a National Sanitation Day<\/strong> initiative in the coming days.<\/p>\n\u201cWe all know that sanitation has become a challenge in the capital, affecting not only our health but also our environment and overall well-being,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
She explained that a Regional Sanitation Day will be observed every month to complement the national exercise, ensuring consistency in promoting environmental hygiene across the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis initiative aims to instill a renewed sense of cleanliness and responsibility in our communities to prevent communicable diseases like cholera and also check flooding,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Madam Ocloo urged all stakeholders to actively participate in the initiative.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a collective effort, and I therefore call on all assemblies, traditional leaders, religious organizations, market associations, youth groups, and the private sector to fully support and participate in this noble cause,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n
The clean-up exercise at Madina Market is part of a broader effort to enhance sanitation practices and encourage community involvement in keeping the city clean.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
