This is in line with President Nana Akufo Addo's vision of ensuring that Accra becomes the cleanest city in Africa.

This was among a number of consensus reached between the assembly and assembly members from the seven electoral areas in the municipality and other stakeholders in the area.

Mr Kofi Ofori, the Municipal Chief Executive, said since assuming office about two months ago, his major pre-occupation had been the indiscriminate dumping of garbage on the streets in the municipality.

He said the practicewas unacceptable and cautioned that, anyone caught dumping garbage at unauthorized areas will be made to face the law.

Mr Ofori said verysoon the assembly will embark upon a house to house inspection of toilet facilities and urged every house to own one.

He said the government has a program to assist every house to get a toilet facility by paying 60 percent of the cost of construction, with landlords paying the remaining 40 percent and urged landlords to take up the offer.

Mr Ofori called for the re-engineering of most of the drains in the municipality to forestall the perennial 2018.
