“I CAN only succeed in making Accra work again if we support and make the campaign a collective responsibility,” the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr Henry Quartey, has said.
“As the representative and servant of the President, I must work to ensure that things are done right. Those squatting and erecting unauthorised structures have been engaged many times and notices served them. The train has taken off and it will not stop now,” he added.
The minister, who was speaking during a visit to the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL), one of the companies along the Obetsebi-Lamptey-Farisco Road where the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) carried out a decongestion and clean-up exercise last Tuesday, said Accra was losing its reputation as a tourist destination due to congestion and filth.

The Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Environment, Science and Technology believe Ghana does not need to send a delegation anywhere for studies before the sanitation challenges in the country can be solved.
Dr. Emmanuel Marfo said Ghana has the expertise and the men to ensure the nation is free of filth but the expertise is not put into use.
A delegation from the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA ) and Africa Environmental Sanitation Consult (AFESC), the research and consultancy firm of Jospong Group of Companies and Sanitation giants, Zoomlion, are currently in Kigali, the Rwandan capital, to understudy that country’s waste management system and good environmental and sanitation practices.
