The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Ms Linda Ocloo, has visited some major markets in Accra to assess sanitation challenges and outline plans for improvement.
The tour, which included the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange, Kaneshie, and Lapaz markets, was part of the National Democratic Congress' "Clean Up Ghana" initiative.
During the visit, Ms Ocloo emphasised that sanitation and waste management remained key priorities and announced plans to introduce a comprehensive waste management policy aimed at ensuring cleaner public spaces.
She said her plans would focus on promoting waste segregation, providing garbage bins in public areas, and strengthening the sanitation departments of Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to improve efficiency.
