The Ga Mantse made the call on Saturday when he embarked on an inspection tour accompanied by senior officers of the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (GARCC) and Asafoatsemei of the Ga State, to Rawlings Park, CMB, Makola, and Tudu, to assess the progress of the one-month Homowo clean-up initiative in Accra.
He emphasised the importance of continuous sanitation initiatives to maintain the city’s cleanliness.
King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II praised the efforts of ZoomLion and other stakeholders, urging that the work not be seen as a one-time activity but as an ongoing commitment.
“It shouldn’t be a one-day work but should continue every day after the Homowo festival so that sanitation and cleanliness will be sustained,” he remarked.
In a bid to ensure lasting cleanliness in Accra, His Royal Majesty King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II has called for sustained efforts beyond the immediate post-Homowo festivities.
The King expressed his gratitude to various entities involved in the clean-up campaign, acknowledging the efforts of the Coordinating Council led by the Regional Minister, the Mayor of Accra, the Sanitation Minister, the Gender Ministry, the Ministry of Science and Technology, Zoom Lion, as well as the Chiefs, Queen Mothers, Asafoatsemei, and residents.
“He said I strongly believe that Accra will rise and shine,” he concluded, underscoring the importance of collective effort in maintaining the city’s cleanliness and overall well-being.
