This year's Independence Day anniversary celebration was organised on a low key at the regions following government's decision to cut cost and make the event brief.
The usual pomp and pageantry that characterised the event at the regions and districts levels were absent as most regions held their event at the forecourt of the Regional Coordinating Councils (RCC) with some of the districts organising clean-up exercises to clear their communities of filth.
FROM: The Ho, SAMUEL AGBEWOODE reports that the usual march-pass that characterised the celebration of the Independence Day was missing as the Volta Regional Coordinating Council (VRCC) organised a clean-up exercise at the Ho Airport to clear the city of filth.
The clean-up exercise which was organised in collaboration with Zoomlion Ghana limited saw the security services, including the military, police, prisons, media, civil society groups and market women, among others participating.
