Ga Central Aims to Be Ghana’s Cleanest Municipality – MCE

The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Ga Central, Hon. Emmanuel Adotey Allotey, has expressed strong optimism that the municipality will soon emerge as one of the cleanest in Ghana.

Speaking during the second edition of the National Sanitation Day exercise at Santa Maria, the MCE said the Assembly’s consistent efforts and community participation are gradually transforming the sanitation landscape of the area.

“Our target is that within the next three to six months, Ga Central will be among the best municipalities in Ghana when it comes to sanitation,” – Hon. Allotey declared confidently.

He explained that the Assembly has been implementing a series of targeted clean-up activities, focusing on dredging drains, sweeping public spaces, and collecting refuse regularly.

“We are monitoring every corner — from the markets to residential areas — to make sure no rubbish is left unattended. Cleanliness is now becoming part of our routine,” he added.

Hon. Allotey noted that, beyond the national sanitation campaign, the Assembly has introduced weekly clean-up exercises involving assembly members, unit committee representatives, shop owners, and residents.

“We have a sanitation task force that works every week in all 13 electoral areas. We do not wait for the national day; we take action weekly,” he said.

He further assured residents that the Assembly would continue to provide the necessary logistics and supervision to sustain the gains made so far.

Hon. Allotey also cautioned individuals and businesses against neglecting their environment, warning that sanctions would be applied to those who fail to participate in communal clean-up activities.

He concluded by urging residents to adopt good sanitation practices as a shared responsibility. “A clean environment is everyone’s business, and together, we can make Ga Central the cleanest municipality in Ghana,” – he said.
