The Environmental Health Analyst for the Asutifi South District in the Ahafo Region, Yaw Adusei, has warned that the District Assembly will no longer tolerate individuals who litter the environment after clean-up exercises.
Speaking during a clean-up exercise at Mehame, Mr Adusei told Adom News that sanitation officers have been deployed to major communities, including Hwidiem, Acherensua, Nkaseim, Mehame, and Dadiesoaba, to identify sanitation offenders and prosecute them accordingly.
He explained that the National Sanitation Day initiative, introduced by government, can only achieve its objectives if those who flout sanitation laws are held accountable. Enforcement, he stressed, will serve as a deterrent to others.
Mr Adusei questioned the rationale behind spending time and resources on clean-up exercises only for the same areas to be littered the following day, describing the situation as unacceptable.
Meanwhile, the District Chief Executive, Benjamin Assabil Donkor, together with the Chief of Mehame, Nana Owusu Kontoh III, expressed satisfaction with the level of resident participation in the National Sanitation Day activities.
They described the initiative as commendable and called on all residents to support it in order to help make Asutifi South one of the cleanest districts in the country.
