Henry Quartey, the Greater Accra Regional Minister, has instructed the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, or MMDAs, to abandon the customary workshops and seminars in favor of adopting real steps to guarantee sanitary urban growth.
He said it is regrettable that workshops come out with great recommendations which just end up on paper, while the real problems of sanitation, congestion and illegal encroachments continue to tear cities apart.
Mr. Quartey was speaking at the Accra City Study Uptake Workshop organized by the Ministry of Local Government, Decentralization and Rural Development.
The Greater Accra Regional Minister urged MMDAs and other stakeholders to make their policies and recommendations work consistently.
