Mahama Calls for Better Waste Practices as Ghana Undertakes Major Clean-up Exercise

During his s, President Mahama inspected ongoing clean-up operations, received briefings from local authorities and joined residents, security personnel and sanitation workers in clearing refuse and removing silt from drainage channels.

President John Dramani Mahama on Friday joined residents in parts of Accra, including Tse Addo, for Ghana’s National General Clean-up Exercise, taking part in the desilting of choked drains as the government steps up efforts to improve sanitation and reduce flooding.

The President also urged authorities to ensure dredged silt is properly removed rather than left by roadsides, warning that rainfall often washes the debris back into drains and reverses the gains made during clean-up exercises.
