Watch as Okaikwei North MP confronts bank over failure to clean surroundings

The Member of Parliament for Okaikwei North, Theresa Lardi Awuni, has criticised CalBank for allegedly failing to participate in President John Dramani Mahama’s National General Cleaning Exercise.

The MP accused the bank of failing to clean its frontage despite having a physical presence within communities, while she personally took part in clearing gutters in her constituency.

In a viral Facebook post sighted by GhanaWeb on July 11, 2026, Awuni questioned why institutions operating within communities could not take responsibility for maintaining their immediate surroundings.

Gender Ministry urges sustained sanitation beyond clean-up day

“The least you can do is clean your frontage. Banks are not an exception. I have left Parliament to clean your gutters for you to get paid?” she stated.

The MP made the comments while participating in clean-up activities within her constituency as part of the nationwide exercise aimed at improving sanitation and restoring affected areas following recent flooding.

The July 10 and 11 clean-up exercise was organised following President Mahama’s directive urging citizens, public institutions and private businesses to take responsibility for the cleanliness of their surroundings.

The initiative forms part of efforts to address Ghana’s sanitation challenges and promote a culture of regular environmental cleanliness.
