President Mahama announces military dredging of waterways, monthly clean-up days
"At least once a month, let's set aside one day and all of us come out and clean the city and with the help of the waste management companies, we'll be able to keep this city clean and also free of flooding," he added.
Speaking at Tse Addo in Accra on Friday, July 10, during the first day of a nationwide clean-up exercise organised in response to the June 29 floods that affected parts of Accra and other communities, the President said the exercise will focus on clearing key drains and waterways to improve the flow of rainwater into wetlands and mitigate the impact of floods.
He urged Ghanaians to set aside one day every month to participate in sanitation activities, with support from waste management companies.
