The MP for Akatsi North Constituency Kwasi Nortsu-Kotoe has revealed that the District Assembly will enact a bye-law to prevent citizens\u00a0from organizing funerals and other social functions on days earmarked for the\u00a0National Sanitation Day (NSD).<\/p>\n
The MP observed that such social gatherings contribute to the low patronage during the NSD, as most people\u00a0prefer to attend such gathering instead of taking part in the clean-up exercises.<\/p>\n
