The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey, has high hopes that the national capital – Accra, could become cleaner and more congenial by the end of 2024.
This, the Minister says, will collectively be achieved through discipline, decongestion, proper sanitation, security, health and education.
Hon. Quartey was speaking on Citi TV’s, The Point of View program on Wednesday.
“The President gave me the opportunity to serve the people of the Greater Accra Region. But I have seen that congestion, sanitation, indiscipline are problems; how do we tackle that? Coupled with the statement the President made in 2015 that he will make Accra the cleanest city in Africa, that is where I derive the motivation from. So I think we have a duty that by 2024 we must make Accra an enabling environment and the cleanest city”, he said.

While promising to use a multi-sectoral approach to devise means in making sure his vision for the region is realized, the Minister underscored the need to tackle the high level of indiscipline among residents in the region.
“If we are disciplined enough, then we will not throw rubbish in gutters or build at unauthorized areas. If we are disciplined enough, we will not ride motorbikes and not obey traffic regulations.”
