Several persons arrested, shops closed over refusal to participate in nationwide clean-up exercise
Several people have been arrested in parts of the Central Region for allegedly defying the government's mandatory National Flood Aftermath Clean-up Exercise by keeping their businesses open instead of taking part in the sanitation campaign.
The arrests were made as residents across communities took part in the nationwide clean-up exercise, clearing drains, markets, streets and other public spaces to improve sanitation and reduce the risk of flooding.
