The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has ordered the closure of all shops within the metropolis on Thursday for a massive clean-up exercise.<\/p>\n
According to the AMA this is to enable the assembly clean all markets in a bid to rid the metropolis of the mountains of filth.<\/p>\n
The clean-up exercise comes in the wake of serious cholera outbreak\u00a0 in the city.<\/p>\n
The outbreak has affected over six thousand people and killed about 45 persons.<\/p>\n
A statement from the Assembly further directed that all sub-metro councils and waste management contractors should provide equipment and containers for the exercise.<\/p>\n
The clean up exercise will start from 6am to 12 pm.<\/p>\n
Accra has been innuadated with rubbish with the recent refusal of waste collection companies to collect waste generated by residents due to government indebtedness.<\/p>\n
Government has since paid half of \u00a0its debt to these companies but local assemblies say the attitude of residents prevents them from keeping the city clean.<\/p>\n
