The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr Henry Quartey, has charged corporate institutions within the capital to bear some level of responsibility and support the sanitation campaign under the “Make Accra Work” project.
To this end, the Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) and the Accra Metropolitan Assembly will ensure that corporate bodies who leave their gutters choked and allow scrap dealers to operate on their frontages would be fined.
Mr Quartey made the call at a stakeholder meeting ahead of a decongestion exercise along the Accra-UTC road to the Obetsebi Lamptey Interchange which has been scheduled to take off on Tuesday, May 18.

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.
