The Ho Municipal Assembly has declared Wednesday, October 1, as a Special Municipal Clean-Up Day across the communities and institutions within the municipality.
The exercise, scheduled from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m, formed part of preparations toward the annual Asogli Te Za celebrations and aligns with the Assembly’s “Oxygen City” agenda to promote a clean, green, and healthy environment.
A public announcement issued by the Assembly directed that all shops and commercial centres remain closed during the exercise, with exemptions granted only to pharmacies, fuel stations, chemical shops, koko sellers, and institutions or individuals undertaking special duties.
Mr Stephen Adom, Ho Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), said the exercise was in line with national efforts to boost sanitation following the launch of the National Sanitation Day by former President John Dramani Mahama.
“We want Ho to stand out as the Oxygen City. A clean environment is not only about beauty but also about protecting the health of our people and visitors,” Mr Adom explained.
He urged residents to take personal responsibility in cleaning their homes and surroundings. “Where no communal point has been announced by your Assembly Member or local leadership, every household must engage in ‘Operation Clean Your Frontage and Backyard,” he stated.
The Assembly outlined focus areas including sweeping and collecting refuse in public spaces, desilting drains, clearing overgrown weeds, trimming lawns, and planting trees to improve the city’s greenery.
