Akobro residents clean-up community

The Assembly Member for Akobro/Nyamebeye Electoral Area, Afoakwa Kwasi, has organised a cleanup exercise in the area.
The exercise was aimed at cleaning the environment and inculcating the habit of cleanliness in the electorates.
The clean-up exercise attracted a large number of people who participated in distilling choked gutters, weeding, and sweeping of the environment.
Addressing the people, Mr. Afoakwa thanked them for coming in their numbers to support such a good cause. He mentioned that cleanliness is next to godliness, and for that matter, it is necessary to keep the environs clean.
He educated participants on Covid-19 safety protocols, and urged them to teach others in their homes and communities.
He advised the people not to dump refuse indiscriminately and later turn round to cleaning up, and urged them to be regular participants in all clean up exercises.
He said the exercise had helped to beautify the environment and would reduce cases of malaria and other airborne diseases.
Speaking at the close of the cleanup exercise, Abuba Fuseni, who represented the environmental health officer at Techimantia, said the clean-up exercises were to tidy their environments and must be treated as such.
He said a clean environment ensures healthy people, and healthy people become productive in the socio-economic life of a nation, and urged all present not to make the exercise a nine-day wonder.
He said it would go a long way to bring sanity into our environment, and urged all officials of the Assembly to enact a law to make the exercise binding.
