Mrs. Grace Asamoah Agyemang, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Atwima Kwanwoma, has led a massive clean-up exercise in the Kromoase Electoral Area.
The exercise, which targeted the principal street and surrounding areas of the town, was organised by the Atwima Kwanwoma District Assembly.
Also participating in the exercise were the District Coordinating Director, Madam Eunice Korankye; Presiding Member Anthony Kwame Nsiah; personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service, Ghana Immigration Service, Police Service, Assembly Members, traditional authorities, and residents of Kromoase.
Mrs. Agyemang described the clean-up as a necessary and urgent measure to rid the community of filth and prevent sanitation-related diseases.
She called on all residents to take active responsibility for their environment and to avoid practices that lead to environmental degradation.
“This is not just an event, it is a call to action. As a district, we are determined to instill discipline when it comes to sanitation,” she said.
She said clean surroundings are essential for good health, business growth, and community pride and commended everyone who came out to participate in the exercise.
Madam Eunice Korankye, the District Coordinating Director, praised the collaboration between the Assembly and the security agencies, adding that such partnerships were crucial to ensuring successful community-centered programs.
She urged residents to avoid indiscriminate dumping of refuse and to adhere to sanitation bylaws put in place by the Assembly.
Traditional leaders from Kromoase who participated in the exercise welcomed the involvement of the district leadership and pledged their support in educating the youth and encouraging households to uphold cleanliness as a cultural value.
Residents of Kromoase were visibly pleased with the transformation of their streets and surroundings by the end of the exercise.
Many expressed hope that the Assembly would organise similar activities regularly and provide waste bins to make garbage disposal easier.
