2 million summons await sanitation offenders in Krowor Municipality
The battle line has been drawn as the Krowor Municipal Assembly (KroMA) has printed two million summons to deal decisively with sanitation offenders.
The Municipal Chief Executive, Mr Joshua NiiBortey said the Assembly’s action was in tandem with President Akufo-Addo’s clarion call for a clean environment especially his commitment to make Accra the cleanest capital city in the Sub-region if not Africa.
He said that some people were being trained at Bundase to come and manage the sanitation situation in the municipality stressing that there would be no sympathy for any offenders.
The MCE brought these to the fore when he addressed a gathering at the launch of “Operation Clean Your Frontage” on Tuesday at the Nungua Lorry Station.
“I know my people are law-abiding citizens and would not go wayward. But in the event that someone breaks the law, the court would deal with that person.
“The Assembly is ever prepared to follow the footsteps of the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr. Henry Quartey, who has waged a relentless war against filth and indiscriminate dumping of waste in communities,” he said.
Mr. Bortey commended the Assembly members for their support, good work and dedication to the welfare of the people in the municipality.
The Member of Parliament for Krowor Constituency, Madam Agnes NaaMomoLartey also said that sanitation was a challenge in the municipality which needed collective effort to fight the canker.
She said that there were about 600 churches in the Constituency so the members should not only worship God but also help to keep the environment clean.
“The Assembly should consider its fee fixing by not making it too costly for the people otherwise they would dump their waste indiscriminately,” she said.
