Day 2 clean-up: Mahama urges residents to join exercise as focus shifts to waste evacuation

President John Dramani Mahama has urged residents who are yet to participate in the national clean-up exercise to come out and support efforts to clear waste generated after the recent floods.

President Mahama explained that previous clean-up exercises often failed to achieve lasting results because waste removed from gutters was left by the roadside and later washed back into drains during rainfall.

Speaking during the second day of the exercise at Alajo, President Mahama said the response from residents on the first day was encouraging, with many people turning out to clean their communities.
