THE Brong Ahafo Regional office of Zoomlion Ghana Limited, a waste management company, in collaboration with the various municipal and district assemblies in the region, has embarked on massive clean-up exercises in the region as it prepares feverishly for its 50th anniversary celebration in November, this year.
The company has also stepped up its sensitisation and awareness campaigns in schools, lorry stations, mosques, churches and market places to educate the general public on the need to rid the communities in the region of filth before, during and after the celebration of the golden jubilee.
As part of the campaign, the company’s employees and its collaborators spend at least two hours every morning to clear choked gutters and drains and also clear bushy areas as well as sweep all the principal streets.
The company has already embarked on larvaeciding of active and potential mosquito breeding sites and the spraying of sanitary areas within the communities.
Briefing the Daily Graphic in Sunyani on its activities, the Regional Operations Manager of Zoomlion, Mr Kofi Sekyere Boateng, stated that the company was committed to the maintenance of a beautiful environment which once earned Sunyani the cleanest town in Ghana.
According to him, the company’s Vector Control Unit had embarked on a mosquito control exercise in all the 22 municipal and district assemblies in the region as a measure of reducing malaria infection.
The officer in-charge of the unit, Mr Ernest Brenya, also gave the assurance that by the close of October, this year, the company’s disinfestation exercise would have been completed.
He said currently, his outfit was spraying toilets, swampy areas and drains, among other filthy locations.
