Mr Otchwenmah expressed profound appreciation to the people of Ledzokuku for their active involvement, noting that the enthusiasm shown was a testament to their commitment to supporting government efforts in promoting environmental cleanliness and sustainable urban development.

The MCE encouraged community members to take personal responsibility for keeping their surroundings clean, emphasising that maintaining a healthy environment requires collective effort. He further indicated that the Assembly would continue enforcing sanitation bylaws to ensure compliance.
