Tafo MCE gets hands dirty with active participation in clean-up, warns sanitation defaulters:
The Old Tafo Municipal Assembly’s Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Mr. Abubakar Sadiq, is making headlines for his hands-on approach to sanitation, actively participating in a clean-up exercise while simultaneously issuing a stern warning to those who neglect their environmental duties. The MCE personally led the government’s monthly Sanitation Day exercise in the Pankrono Electoral Area, setting a striking example for residents.
Mr. Sadiq was seen dressed in full work gear, including wellington boots and hand gloves, diligently participating in the exercise across Pankrono, Bediako, and Adabraka electoral areas. Eyewitnesses were particularly surprised and impressed as the MCE, without hesitation, jumped into choked and unpleasant gutters to desilt them, going above and beyond expectations to ensure the job was done thoroughly.
“This MCE is too much. He is down to Earth. He’s shown a great leadership example. God will bless him. I have never seen an MCE desilting gutters like this before. You can see that he does it with a clean heart,” remarked some by-standers, offering widespread recommendations for his dedication.
Beyond his exemplary actions, Mr. Sidiq used the opportunity to reinforce the Assembly’s unwavering commitment to enforcing sanitation by-laws. He declared that punitive actions, including spot fines or court proceedings, would be taken against defaulters. This includes landlords who fail to sanitize their frontages or do not participate in the communal clean-up exercises.
The MCE emphasized that sanitation hygiene is a collective effort, urging every responsible citizen to complement the government’s commitment to reducing communicable and non-communicable diseases. He expressed concern over the attitude of some residents who “sit on the fence” while others work to keep the environment clean, stressing that the Assembly’s intensified enforcement is aimed at promoting a clean and healthy environment for all residents of the Old Tafo municipality.
