The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), is set to operationalize five sanitation courts within the city to deal with sanitation offenders in a bid to enhance waste management, and ensure a clean Accra.<\/p>\n
The AMA boss, Mohammed Adjei Sowah, noted that Accra currently has two sanitation courts.<\/p>\n
According to Mr. Adjei Sowah, the Assembly among other things has facilitated the construction of 400 household toilets\u00a0within three months\u00a0under the GAMA project.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a program on fixing Ghana\u2019s sanitation problems organized by IMANI Centre for Policy and Education, he said the operation of these courts will make the process of dealing with sanitation offenders easier.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are targeting to have five sanitation courts so that these are dedicated to deal with issues of sanitation because when you send these issues of sanitation to the magistrate court, they have their own technicality that prolongs the cases,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He noted that funds are been sought to renovate the already existing courts and the finish up the uncompleted ones.<\/p>\n
