Nsawam (E/R), Oct 1, GNA - Dr Godfred Osei Bonsu Twum, the Akuapem South Municipal Chief Executive, has appealed to people in the municipality to clear weed around their houses and bury their refuse to help reduce filth and disease.
He said a clean environment would cut down on mosquitoes and house flies and this would improve the health of the people. Dr Twum said it was for that reason that the municipal assembly had devoted the last three months to organizing clean-up exercises. He said this after leading over 1,000 people made up traders, drivers, political leaders and residents of the municipality to undertake a clean-up exercise in some communities in the municipality. The exercise was conducted at places such as the Nsawam main lorry park, Nsawam central market, Gyankrom, Adoagyiri, Afutu and Aburi junction.
Dr Twum said the exercise would be extended to Aburi and other communities in the municipality to ensure environmental cleanliness.
