Local Council Of Churches Joins MCE, Calls For Massive Public Participation In Municipal Clean-Up Exercise
The Nkawkaw Local Council of Churches has joined the Kwahu West Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) to call on residents to actively participate in a major clean-up exercise held every first Saturday of the month, as part of efforts to improve environmental sanitation and promote public health across the municipality.
The appeal was made when the Council joined the MCE, Hon. Tamimu Halidu, during a recent clean-up exercise in Nkawkaw.
Speaking after the exercise, Hon. Halidu urged residents to support the initiative by coming out in large numbers to help create a cleaner and healthier environment.
He said the exercise covered several key areas of the municipality, including the Nkawkaw New Station and other adjoining communities.
According to him, a clean environment is essential for preventing disease outbreaks, improving public health and enhancing the image of Kwahu West as a commercial hub.
On his part, Mr. Eric Klenam, Director of KLENAV Sanitation Company in charge of the Kwahu West Municipality, said the exercise forms part of ongoing efforts to promote environmental responsibility, strengthen community participation and create a cleaner, safer and more sustainable municipality for residents.
He expressed concern about indiscriminate waste disposal and urged sustained community participation in sanitation initiatives to help improve public hygiene and contribute to a healthier and more attractive Kwahu West.
Also adding their voices at the exercise were the Presiding Member (PM) and the Municipal Environmental Health Officer (MEHO) of Kwahu West.
They noted that environmental cleanliness requires the collective commitment of every resident and encouraged people to volunteer their time and energy to make the exercise a success.
They stressed that maintaining environmental cleanliness is a collective responsibility and called on residents, traders, transport operators, market women, business owners and community-based organisations to play their part in ensuring the success of the exercise.
