From Ernest Best Anane, Kumasi.
MR. JOHN Yaw Donkor, Deputy Director of Waste Management at the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) has entreated the general public to accord the National Sanitation Day the fullest support it deserves to serve its purpose.
He said those who default in observing the day would face the full rigours of the law.
According to him, the day has come to stay, and for that matter needs the support from every good citizen to ensure its sustainability.
Mr. Donkor, who was speaking to the media after the 24th National Sanitation Day recently, underscored that the exercise is a great concept and must be embraced since it would help reduce most of communicable diseases.
He said it was incumbent on all to ensure a clean environment in our lives when ensure that, at least we would take the bull by horn to take it upon ourselves to clean our environment or surroundings clean at least once in a month.
He expressed worry over the attitude of business concerns in the Central Business District of Kumasi, who do not fully participate in the exercise as most of them close their shops or stores and fold their arms while others actively work.
The Waste management director charged all Ghanaians to take the exercise seriously because a clean environment or sanitation is a shared responsibility of every responsible citizen, irrespective of one’s religion, political affiliation or tribe is a concern to all.
