Ghana's Local Government Minister Ahmed Ibrahim finished a national cleanup effort ahead of the holidays. He told all regional and district leaders to make their areas spotless for Christmas visitors. The minister inspected major ceremonial routes like the John Evans Atta Mills Highway with a delegation, focusing on zones in the Korle Klottey municipality and Burma Camp.
He praised security agencies, including the Armed Forces and Fire Service, for working together on the ground, clearing weeds and debris. The minister called this collaboration a gold standard for leadership. He stressed that cleanliness is a key disaster prevention measure, especially around areas housing the President and diplomatic offices. Ibrahim announced plans to deploy specialized street cleaning machines and provide paint for medians along official routes to improve the country's image. He warned against unauthorized billboards and set the first Saturday of the new year for another national sanitation exercise, reminding officials that real development requires hands-on field work.
