It’s now a cliché to say that Accra is wallowing in filth, a situation that surely will not be solved with the once a month ‘Sanitation Day’ alone.
It was the New Patriotic Party administration under President John Kufuor that not only saw the need to beautify Accra, but actually named a ‘Ministry of Tourism and Modernization of the Capital City’.
Certainly that project needs to be implemented.
One suggestion is that the now dead or dying Department of Parks and Gardens should be urgently revived and funded to do its work.
Accra needs to look like the capital city of a country whose well-travelled leaders have seen how others with much less natural endowment have been able to beautify their capitals and even towns and villages.
