Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr Henry Quartey has denied the widespread media report to the effect that the government is going to use over 15,000 personnel of the Ghana National Service to clean up the streets under the "Operation Clean Your Frontage" Bye-Law.
Mr Quartey who doubles as the Member of Parliament (MP) Ayawaso Central Constituency, stated that his attention has been drawn to unfortunate propaganda that our National Service Personnel will be responsible for the cleaning on the 1st of February 2022 to mark the operationalisation of the "Operation Clean Your Frontage" Bye-Law.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Minister stressed that the involvement of the National
Service Personnel in this exercise is not for clean-up as some have unfortunately
misconstrued.
According to him, their involvement was mainly to assist with the sensitisation of the general public on the rollout of the Bye-Law.
"We have graciously received confirmation of about 15,000 National Service Personnel, over 2,000 men and women drawn from the Security services, and about 2,000 Youth Enterprise Agency (YEA) and Zoomlion workers, joining the RCC, together with 13 Metropolitan and Municipal Assemblies for a massive sensitisation drive to mark the commencement of the "Operation Clean Your Frontage" Bye-Law, from the early hours of Tuesday 1st February 2022, in the heart of the city.
"I have also had engagements with the Clergy and Business community who have
pledged their unalloyed support and participation in this programme. With this opportunity, I call on all city dwellers to join this drive to make our city clean and make Greater Accra Work," he explained.
