The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has announced the commencement of the ‘Homowo Clean-Up Exercise’ on Tuesday, July 2, 2024.
This initiative aims to enhance cleanliness and hygiene in the Ga Mashie area, encompassing Sempe, Gbese, Abloa, Asere, and the Dogo Beach. The exercise will take place from 6:00 am to 12:00 noon.
To ensure the efficiency and safety of the clean-up activities, the AMA has mandated that all shops and businesses in the designated areas remain closed during the clean-up hours, with the exception of pharmaceutical and health facilities.
This measure is intended to facilitate the full participation of all stakeholders and ensure the thorough execution of the clean-up.
In a press release signed by the Head of Public Affairs, the AMA detailed the organization of the clean-up activities into six zones covering the entire region. Zone 1 will include areas within the AMA jurisdiction and three sister assemblies.
The AMA emphasized the importance of this initiative in maintaining public health and sanitation standards, especially during the Homowo festival, which is a significant cultural event for the Ga people.
The assembly calls on all residents and stakeholders to actively participate in the clean-up exercise to promote a cleaner and healthier environment for all.
This organized effort is part of a broader strategy to improve urban cleanliness and public health.
