Attitudinal change is the antidote to the sanitation challenges facing the country, the Editor of the Daily Graphic, Mr Kobby Asmah, has observed.
The poor attitude towards the environment, he noted, was causing the country dearly, saying it was time for enhanced sensitisation and education to reinforce the need for the citizenry to change their attitude towards the environment and keep it clean.
In that case, he recommended that non-conformists be dealt with decisively and punished accordingly.
Mr Asmah, who was speaking at the Ashanti Regional Stakeholder Dialogue on Sanitation in Kumasi yesterday, said the development was one of the reasons the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL), with sponsorship from Zoomlion Ghana Limited (ZGL), was undertaking the year-long sanitation awareness programme.

Speakers at the Ashanti Regional version of the Stakeholders Dialogue on Sanitation organised by the Graphic Communications Group Limited, in partnership with Zoomlion Ghana Limited, have called for heavy investment in the sanitation sector.
They said such investment would not only push forward the national sanitation agenda but also purposefully drive Ghana’s quest to become the cleanest country in Africa.
The speakers were the Amakomhene, Nana Adu Mensah Asare; the Chief Operations Officer of the Environmental and Sanitation Cluster of the Jospong Group of Companies, Mrs Florence Larbi; the Ashanti Regional Director of Environmental Health, Mr Don Awantungo; the Director of Research at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, Dr Kwadwo Sarbin, and the Head of Waste Management at the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), Mr Osei Assibey Bonsu.
“I CAN only succeed in making Accra work again if we support and make the campaign a collective responsibility,” the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr Henry Quartey, has said.
“As the representative and servant of the President, I must work to ensure that things are done right. Those squatting and erecting unauthorised structures have been engaged many times and notices served them. The train has taken off and it will not stop now,” he added.
The minister, who was speaking during a visit to the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL), one of the companies along the Obetsebi-Lamptey-Farisco Road where the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) carried out a decongestion and clean-up exercise last Tuesday, said Accra was losing its reputation as a tourist destination due to congestion and filth.
