Cape Coast MCE shuts Sonturk Supermarket, closes shops over cleanup directive breach

The Cape Coast Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), George Justice Arthur, has shut down Sonturk Supermarket for defying the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly’s directive to suspend business operations during the nationwide cleanup exercise.

The MCE, together with a task force from the Metropolitan Assembly, sealed the supermarket after officials found the business operating despite instructions for all shops and commercial establishments to close and participate in the sanitation exercise.

The enforcement action follows a directive issued by the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly requiring all shops within the metropolis to close from 6:00 a.
