The Deputy Minister-Designate for Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs, Rita Naa Odoley Sowah, has emphasized the need for stronger collaboration between the government, traditional leaders, and local assemblies to improve sanitation across the country.

Speaking during her vetting by the Appointments Committee on Friday, February 28, she highlighted the Clean Up Ghana initiative outlined in section 6.3 of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) manifesto, stressing the need to reinstate monthly cleanup exercises.

“We must work closely with Regional Coordinating Councils, District Assemblies, and traditional leaders to ensure the success of this program. Public education and sensitization are crucial, especially in market areas and communities with poor drainage systems,” she stated.

She also called for stricter enforcement of sanitation laws, arguing that current penalties are insufficient.

“When people commit sanitation offenses, they are taken to court, fined, and released. However, we need laws that will require offenders to engage in cleanup activities related to their violations.
This will serve as a stronger deterrent and encourage a cleaner environment,” she explained.

She reaffirmed the NDC administration’s commitment to making sanitation a priority, urging all stakeholders to take the Clean Up Ghana program seriously to ensure a healthier and more sustainable environment.
