The  Chairperson for the Parliamenta­ry Select Commit­tee on Sanitation and Water Resourc­es, Mr Oti Bless, has said that the government will ensure stricter supervision of sani­tation activities, so that huge sums of money invested in the sector will yield the needed results.

He said sanitation issues would no longer be taken for granted, and promised to push for urgent reforms to improve accountability and performance in the sector.

According to Mr Bless, Parlia­ment, through the Committee, would do everything possible to ensure that service providers delivered on their mandate, and the technocrats at the various Met­ropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) are involved in the process from the onset.

He made this known during a working tour of selected Municipal and District Assemblies in Accra, to gather data on sanitation issues and interact with the waste man­agement officials.
