Mr. Nyamekye Marfo made the call at a dinner and awards ceremony at which he was honoured for his sterling leadership qualities and immense contributions to the development of the Brong-Ahafo region. The awards ceremony was organised by the Nkwabeng Youth Unity Club in sunyani.

The regional minister also called for proper environmental sanitation management on the part of individuals. He noted that it is the collective responsibility of the people to ensure good sanitation and kicked against individuals who create filth and expect Zoomlion to clear them.

He also urged the Nkwabeng Youth club to embark on massive education on the need for everybody who has attained 18 years to register to enable them vote in the 2012 general elections.

Two other personalities, Lawyer Asomah Cheremeh of Henewaa Chambers and Williewise Kyeremeh, Proprietor of Wise Educational Complex, both in Sunyani, also received awards.
