The Chief Executive of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), Hon. Elizabeth Sackey, has issued a stern warning to residents in the city to stop littering and dumping refuse into drains or face the full consequences of the law.
According to her, the Assembly has completed its Sanitation Court and would not hesitate to prosecute and hold individuals accountable for compromising the cleanliness of the city.
The Mayor gave the warning when she paid a working visit to communities around the Salaga Market in Bukom to inspect and assess the level of desilting works carried out over the weekend to mitigate the risks of flooding and its associated health hazards when it rains.
The Mayor who was not happy with the volumes of solid waste cleared from the drains, emphasised the importance of maintaining cleanliness within the city, particularly in light of ongoing desilting efforts aimed at improving drainage systems and cautioned residents against littering and illegal dumping.
