AMA should just walk along the railway tracks and see the filth, the mess, the squatters right next to the tracks starting from Accra Central. Go along Fadama and Agbobloshie. The money you collect from fines will pay for the whole year AMA budget and leave them with surplus. The indiscipline and habits of people cannot be changed without severe penalties.

Just ban plastic bags across the country. Kenya did it overnight. Make the sachet water manufacturers responsible for clearing up the litter or paying for the clean up. They might then think of say 5 pesewas on top of the sachets for a refund on return which will encourage de-littering, it works perfectly in countries like Germany.

Good idea BUT will never work in Ghana. Some years back the government put similar tax on sachet water production; government is still taking the taxes alright but has failed to collect the litter, just like street lights. Every electricity consumer in Ghana pays for street lights but our streets are dark.
But why sachet water waste and not rubbish in general. Can people litter with fruit juice bottles and packs. How many MMDAs have provided dustbins in their cities? Even where they provide scanty dustbins, the Assemblies hardly collect them. Go to Obuasi and see the tattered containers Zoomlion is using collect rubbish even though the people pay before their waste are collected.

Taking money means you can bring the plastic with water and if they are not watching I can leave the plastic to the wind.

All of you talking are not real cocoa farmers. If you are a cocoa farmer who starts from the beginning by tearing forest down to the time that you start harvesting you WILL not say you will accept any price the government give you. I have been there before as well as rice farming. It's not that easy the farmers are actually suffering ooo hmm

The whole nation Ghana must do the same thing NOT only Accra keep Ghana clean. The cattle herds must keep their cattle indoors and feed them. The whole Ghana don't need strange animals on the streets of Ghana, cattle, goats, sheep, pigs all should be kept indoors and fed by the owners. Government should pay the youths to clean our cities, towns, and villages

Start by ensuring that street hawkers, who sell satchet water, and are mostly responsible for the litter, either clean up after their mess, or sell only at designated spots with bins. Get police and city guards to fine on the spot, vehicles from which such bags are thrown out. Furnish bus stops with bins, and empty them regularly.

I never trust anything said by AMA. You guys are not serious. The average Ghanaian is irresponsible, uncivilized, undisciplined and not law abidding. Hence, one should be very strict when dealing with a Ghanaian. Many of AMA's bi-laws are never strictly enforced. This is where my scepticism to the current law lies.

How many bins have AMA deposited in places to stop littering in Accra? 2 how often are they emptied? 24hr economy people should sweep in the night for clean Accra in the morning as done in Europe. Instant fines for littering and the fine should be momo to the government. Prisoners should be used to work eg weeding the roadside, cleaning the gutters,market and carpets or stations then Accra will be clean.

This a good idea. Please start arresting and prosecuting offenders to serve as a deterrent. Our streets and gutters are all very choked which also contributes to flooding.

Who are the CEOs of the sachet companies?
The government should hold them accountable in cleaning the streets of sachet plastic bags.
The companies are responsible.
