TMA institutes clean Tema agenda

The Tema Metropolitan Assembly (TMA) has instituted a ‘Clean Tema Agenda’ and set aside  December 21, 2013 to engage residents in a massive clean-up exercise  to restore Tema to its planned status.

 As part of the  exercise a landscaping and  clearing of the central business area at Community One has started.

Speaking to the Daily Graphic in an interview at the work site, the Public Relations Officer of the assembly, Mr Frank Asante,  noted that  the work was being undertaken by workers of the assembly’s works department  . 

He explained that the Chief Executive, Mr Isaac Ashai Odamtten,  had set an agenda to ensure that work that could be done by the department would not be given on contract  to save money for the  assembly .

Mr Asante said the clean Tema agenda  would  ensure  environmental cleanliness  and removal of  illegal structures .

He said an information van had started  with announcements to  inform  residents of the programmes of the assembly .

Mr Asante  stated that as part of the exercise,  all unsightly and illegal structures,  as well as garbage would be evacuated  throughout the metropolis .

He noted that the assembly would ensure a regular clean-up  campaign in the metropolis. 

Earlier at a meeting with management staff of the assembly,  Mr Isaac Ashai Odamtten,  urged them to set good examples  to be emulated by the public .

Mr Odamtten  called on them to support the  new initiatives   and work hard to meet  the objectives  set to clean Tema .

He was  optimistic that  with their initiatives and hard work ,the assembly and Tema  would have its  past glory restored.

He was of the view that  the programme would help residents to celebrate  the festive period in a rejuvenated  environment.
