The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo, has announced the reintroduction of National Sanitation Day and the Cleanest City Award, aiming to foster a competitive approach to cleanliness in the region. As part of the “Clean Up Ghana” initiative under the National Democratic Congress (NDC), a Regional Sanitation Day will now be observed every last Friday of the month.
The minister emphasized that waste management would be a key focus for local authorities, with Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) being evaluated on their sanitation performance. A new sanitation policy will promote waste segregation and ensure that public spaces and homes are provided with garbage bags and bins to enhance cleanliness.
