So every first saturday of the month is national cleanliness day, good idea but I am confused about the topic of making a law to enforce it. If I live in an estate or house and I keep both the internal and external clean daily such that there is nothing to clean on that saturday does that make me a defaulter? I dont understand why people must get out of their home to clean community gutter if there is discipline and rather littering the environment is made a criminal offence. If there is a big gutter in town, it must be layed out well such that minor drainages joining it from homes have wired nets at the end so only water can pass through. Then there must be sanitation officers employed who will go round weekly to check on those whose houses are scattered with filt for fines or arrests to be made. All big gutters must be well constructed and covered to prevent mad people and stupid people from dropping hard waste into it. Then we must address the issue of timely collection of rubbish to refuse sites. Another thing is to give all citizens the right to drag anybody found littering the environment to the police station for the law to take its course. We must get our street clear from mad people since they are one known cause of littering in the city. I dont see why anybody must be fined now for refusing to go outside his house or neighbourhood to clean dirt he didnt make. Residential areas are not clean because the people living there are rich, the place is clean because residents have decided to keep it clean to beautify the place and they are ghanaians too. A clean nation start with each individual understanding the importance of cleanliness and government enforcing laws to ensure that people keep the environment clean.
