The Ga Traditional Council has called on all residents and business owners to actively participate in the Homowo cleanup exercise, which begins today, July 2, 2024.
The initiative is being led by the Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II.
In a video on social media, the Ga Mantse was seen distilling a drainage system filled with refuse.
The month-long campaign, themed “Let’s Keep Accra Clean,” aims to promote effective waste management practices, enhance environmental hygiene, and foster a sense of community ownership and responsibility.
This initiative is a collaborative effort between the Ga Traditional Council (GTC) and various government agencies, targeting all 25 local government authorities within the Greater Accra Region.
Throughout the campaign, activities will include household registration for organized waste collection services, education on effective waste management techniques, and strict enforcement of by-laws to ensure compliance.
The Ga Mantse emphasized that the initiative is non-political and that maintaining environmental cleanliness is a collective responsibility for all residents, irrespective of political affiliations.
