AUTHORITIES of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, led by the Chief Executive, Mr Samuel Sarpong, last Saturday, embarked on a massive clean up exercise at the Central Business District (CBD) of Adum and other parts of the metropolis .
The exercise, according to the chief executive, was meant to rekindle communal spirit among residents in the Kumasi Metropolis for them to undertake regular clean up exercises, thereby creating a healthy environment.
Areas like Pampaso, the Spare Parts area, PZ, Unicorn House, Nsuase, Post Office and the fore court of the Kumasi Prisons at Adum benefited from the exercise as officials from the KMA, Zoom Lion, Goldstreet Limited and the Waste Management Limited, cleared choked gutters,swept streets and cleared weeds that had created a lot of filth at the CBD.
Communal containers, mini refuse trucks, tractors, tricycles and wheelbarrows, among other equipment, were used to facilitate the clearing of the filth from the choked gutters and other parts of the CBD.
Briefing the Daily Graphic about the exercise, Mr Samuel Sarpong said the KMA was more determined than ever to educate the public on the importance of doing business in a clean environment.
“It is unfortunate that the communal spirit that induced the public to undertake regular clean-up exercises is dying in Kumasi, and with this, we are creating the needed awareness, so that regular clean-up exercises would be undertaken in the metropolis”, he noted .
Mr Sarpong, therefore, charged residents in the metropolis to support the KMA in its quest of creating healthy environment in the metropolis by undertaking regular clean-up exercises at their immediate environments, especially at the weekends.
