Effutuakwamanhene Leads Cleanliness Drive, Urges Community to Take Ownership

Okumanini Baffour Asare Kyeahene II, the Effutuakwamanhene, has commended the people of Effutuakwa for their active participation in the recent clean-up exercise held on Saturday. Speaking at the Akwasidae durbar, Okumanini acknowledged the community’s efforts in maintaining a clean environment and commended their sense of responsibility.

During his address, Okumanini emphasized the importance of regular clean-up exercises, particularly in market areas. He urged market leaders in Assin Foso to organize clean-up exercises every two weeks to prevent the spread of diseases. “The market is where everyone buys from, and it’s essential we keep it clean,” he stressed. “A clean market is not only good for business, but it also reflects the community’s values and pride.”

Furthermore, Okumanini encouraged all Assembly members in the Effutuakwa Traditional Area to take charge of organizing clean-up exercises in their respective electoral areas. He proposed that these exercises be held on the first Saturday of every month, promoting a culture of cleanliness and community responsibility. “By working together, we can maintain a clean and healthy environment that benefits everyone,” he said.

Okumanini’s call to action is expected to inspire a sense of community ownership and responsibility for environmental sanitation. The Effutuakwa Traditional Area has been known for its commitment to cleanliness and community development, and this initiative is seen as a further step in maintaining that reputation.

The Effutuakwamanhene’s efforts have also been praised by local residents, who have expressed their appreciation for his leadership and commitment to community development. “We are grateful for the Effutuakwamanhene’s initiative,” said one resident. “It’s essential that we work together to maintain a clean and healthy environment.”

As the Effutuakwa Traditional Area continues to prioritize cleanliness and community development, it serves as a model for other communities to follow. By working together and taking ownership of their environment, communities can create a cleaner, healthier, and more prosperous future for themselves and future generations.
