We As Stakeholders And City Managers Must Take It As Our Reponsibility To Clean The Environment

Co-ordinating Director for Ashiaman Municipal Assembly(ASHMA), Alhaji Saaka Dramani has disclosed that we as stakeholders and city managers must take it as our responsibility to clean our environment with the theme “Operation Clean Your Frontage”.

 According to Municipal Dramani, citizens must be responsible for cleaning their environment and also Green the frontage.

 He added that there is the need to educate the citizens if they are not aware hence all stakeholders and city managers must take part in this exercise including National Service Personnel.

 The Municipal Chief Executive for Ashiaman Municipal Assembly (ASHMA), Albert Boakye Okyere also commented on the fact that the exercise of “operation clean your frontage” has come to remind us of what was done in the good old days.

 However, modernization has come to discourage us to keep our environment clean and neat.

 “This is not for a particular group of people but for every resident”, he added

 “We want every staff in this municipality to have the bye-law and no the rules and regulations so we can abide by it”, he stressed.

 Disobeying the rules and regulations stated in the bye-law might serve you 1,200 Ghana cedis or 6 months imprisonment.

 “Our interest is in people taking part in this exercise”, he urged.

 “Ashiaman as a town has difficulty in abiding by rules and regulations”, he emphasized.

 “We’re going back for this value hence Ghanaians are very late”, he stated.

 “If you are clean and your environment is bad then you as a country or an individual is also bad”, he added.

 In addition, they as an assemble will make sure that everyone abides by this law.

 The Assistant to the Regional Director of Sanitation and Environment, Rosemary Gbadzida also encouraged everyone to practice this as their habit.

 “As they clean the frontage of their shops, more customers will buy from them”, she encouraged.

 She mentioned that the assembly is employing all municipals to be able to raise funds to support this program, which will boost the economy of the assembly.
