A member of the governing board of One Ghana Movement, Dr. Joyce Aryee, believes citizens are responsible for making the city of Accra the cleanest in Africa.<\/p>\n
According to her, citizens have a responsibility to avoid littering and dumping refuse in open spaces to ensure a clean city.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”bmQfc4GDjMShdy1fBBbKODwtwpvPKhv9″]Joyce Aryee in a video for \u201cThe Right Way Campaign\u201d, a spin-off from the OneGhana citizen responsibility objective, said the work of garbage-collecting agencies will be easier and effective if citizens make conscious efforts to make the city clean.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Accra is going to be the cleanest city [in Africa], it will start with us, the individual citizens, it is us because it is not the garbage collecting agencies that keep the city clean. It is us refusing to litter, it is us deciding to separate our garbage and put them in the right way. It is us deciding to do things the right way. That will be the major boost\u2026 then it will make the work of the garbage collectors easier,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
President Akufo-Addo in April 2017 promised to make Accra the cleanest city in Africa by the end of his first term in 2020.<\/p>\n
