Sustain new sanitation campaign – Expert

The Head of Department of Urban and Management at the Institute of Local Government Studies, Frederick Agyarko Oduro has called for a high level of commitment to sustain the new sanitation campaign.
 
Speaking on GBC’s “Behind the News”, Mr. Oduro expressed the need for constant monitoring of parties involved to ensure that they play their roles effectively.

<b>BACKGROUND</b>

President Akufo-Addo has stated that as waste is generated every day, Ghanaians have an obligation to keep the environment clean every day, indicating that the citizenry have to do so daily, and not on a monthly basis.

According to President Akufo-Addo, “EVERY DAY IS SANITATION DAY”. I recognize, however, that the government cannot do it alone. This is where I wish to call on all of us, especially our Chiefs and Queen Mothers, religious and opinion leaders, civil society organisations, private sector operators, to rise up to the challenge and help make a difference this time around.”

President Akufo-Addo made this known on Monday, at the launch of the National Sanitation Campaign at the Banquet Hall of the State House.
