The Old Tafo Municipal Assembly has intensified its commitment to enforcing sanitation by-laws against defaulters to serve as a deterrent to others.

Mr Abubakar Sidiq, The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), made this known during the Assembly’s sanitation day exercise at Pankrono Electoral Area as the part of the government’s Sanitation Day Exercise on every first Saturday of the month towards sanitation hygiene.

He stated that the Assembly will intensify the enforcement of sanitation by-laws to enhance sanitation hygiene in the municipality. Says Punitive Actions against Defaulters, including landlords who fail to sanitize their frontages yet does not participate in the exercise, will face punitive actions, including spot fines or court proceedings.

The MCE emphasized that sanitation hygiene is a collective effort and every responsible citizen must complement the government’s commitment to reducing communicable and non-communicable diseases.

He stressed that the Assembly is urging residents to take an active role in maintaining a clean and healthy environment.

The MCE expressed concern over the attitude of some residents who sit on the fence while others work to keep the environment clean. He said the Assembly’s commitment to enforcing sanitation by-laws is aimed at promoting a clean and healthy environment for all residents.
