COLLABORATION FOR CLEANER ASHAIMAN

The Ashaiman Municipal Assembly, in a powerful display of civic responsibility and community collaboration, has embarked on a two-day general cleanup exercise at Saka Saka Park. This crucial initiative, conducted in partnership with Uptown Cleaners, the Office of the Member of Parliament, the Ashaiman Divisional Council, and the Red Cross Society Ghana, underscores a shared commitment to environmental health. The exercise brought together a broad coalition of stakeholders, including Assembly and Unit Committee members, opinion leaders, youth groups, and the dedicated residents of Ashaiman.

This joint effort was particularly vital given that the land along the motorway had been turned into an illegal dumping site, posing a significant threat to the area’s sanitation and public safety. With the assistance of heavy machinery from the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP), the cleanup teams were able to effectively excavate deeply buried refuse and evacuate large heaps of rubbish. They also undertook extensive weeding and the removal of plastic waste, restoring sanity to a neglected public space that had been burdened by waste for a long period.

As the exercise concluded, leaders from Uptown Cleaners reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to collaborating with the Assembly on a “Clean Ashaiman Sanitation Campaign.” In his closing remarks, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) assured the community of his administration’s dedication to improved sanitation. He emphasized his resolve to clear all remaining illegal dumping sites throughout the municipality, a proactive measure aimed at preventing future health crises and ensuring a cleaner, safer environment for all residents.
