Mahama Ayariga, the Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, called on residents to improve how they handle waste. He stated that people should not leave refuse outside their homes for government collection. According to the minister, sanitation is a shared responsibility.

The Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga, has urged residents to take greater responsibility for sanitation by ensuring waste is properly disposed of rather than leaving refuse outside their homes for government authorities to collect. He said keeping communities clean should go beyond maintaining individual homes to include the surrounding environment, stressing that sanitation was a shared responsibility. “Sometimes people clean their home and just put the waste right in front, and then they make it the responsibility of government to come and take the waste right in front of their homes,” he said.
