The Juaboso District has officially launched the Operation Clean Your Frontage initiative, aimed at improving sanitation and promoting cleaner environments across the townships.
This initiative seeks to enhance cleanliness in principal streets of Juaboso. A large number of community members showed their support by actively participating in the cleanup exercise.
Key figures, including the Police Commander, Fire Service Commander, Immigration Officers, NADMO officials, the Chief of Juaboso and his Elders, and the Area Head of the Church of Pentecost, Apostle Ohene Asa Otoo, also joined the effort.
In an interview, Apostle Ohene Asa Otoo described the initiative as a fantastic way to clear the environment and prevent disease outbreaks.
He mentioned that the Church of Pentecost had already started conducting monthly cleanup exercises in Juaboso but had struggled due to a lack of support from authorities and community members.
He commended the government’s efforts in launching the initiative and called on the assembly to implement stronger bylaws.
Apostle Otoo emphasized that without proper laws, citizens might not take the initiative seriously. He urged the assembly to provide more waste bins and enforce penalties for improper waste disposal, including arrests and fines, to encourage people to keep their surroundings clean.
The DCE for the Area, Alexander Adu Quist, emphasized the importance of living in a clean environment, stating that God does not listen to the prayers of people living in unclean surroundings.
He called on the community to support the government’s efforts to keep the town clean.
Adu Quist assured the public that this cleanup initiative would not be a one-time event but a continuous effort.
He pledged to work with stakeholders in the district, and if confirmed as DCE, he would ensure that Juaboso, along with other major towns in the district, remains clean and sanitized.
The NADMO office in Juaboso also highlighted the importance of addressing flooding in the area.
Madam Eva Duah, representing NADMO, explained that with the help of the DCE nominee and the assembly, they had surveyed the town to identify the causes of flooding.
She noted that many people had built houses in lowland areas, and some had blocked water channels with waste and plastics, contributing to the flooding problem.
Madam Duah advised the public not to buy land in waterlogged or lowland areas, as these regions are prone to flooding, especially during the rainy season.
She also sympathized with the residents of Sefwi Abrokofe who were affected by a recent rainstorm.
Madam Duah assured the community that her office was putting measures in place to support those affected.
