He made the call when one of the Deputy Ministers for Local Government and Rural Development Mr Emmanuel Kwadwo Agyekum paid a courtesy call on him at his residence in Ho ahead of the National Sanitation Day in the Volta region.
The traditional leader lamented over what he described as alarming the level of indiscipline among citizens.
He explained that the irresponsible handling of waste in the country is an affront to good health and sanitation among citizenry.
He commended the ministry for the initiative and pledged to support all activities of the ministry in the quest to clear the city of filth.
He therefore challenged his colleaques to revamp the communal spirit among their subordinates as well as galvanize them to participate wholly in the nation sanitation day project.
In a related development the Congress of Chiefs and Queen Mothers in the Ho West District Assembly have resolved to reschedule all funerals slated for Saturday to enable their subjects to participate successively in the sanitation day.
