Mr Franklin Anku, the Municipal Chief Executive, and the Co-ordinating Director, Alhaji Dramani Saaka, went round to inspect the work done in the areas.

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), the Head of Environmental Health and Sanitation Department, Mr. Joseph Quacoe, expressed concern about the apathetic attitude towards the National Sanitation Day, and therefore stressed the need to enforce the Assembly's bye-laws to compel people to take active part in the exercise.
