Accra-Tema residents advocate stricter enforcement of sanitation laws

Mr Laryea Armah, a resident of Accra, suggested that markets and businesses should participate actively in national clean-up exercises, while Mrs Oforiwaa Agbado called for the provision of adequate public waste bins and improved waste management services to complement enforcement measures.

Mr Joseph Kojo Boadi, another resident, called for stricter enforcement of frontage cleaning regulations and appealed to MMDAs to strengthen their environmental health units to monitor compliance with sanitation bye-laws.

Some residents of Tema and Accra have called on the government and metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies (MMDAs) to strictly enforce sanitation laws to sustain the gains of the National Clean-Up Exercise and improve environmental cleanliness.
