The Asutifi South District Assembly in the Ahafo Region is threatening court action against traders. This is for traders who do not participate in the Assembly's clean-up exercises.
District Chief Executive Benjamin Assabil Donkor said the Assembly has noticed some traders deliberately skip the exercises. These traders continue to operate their businesses while others work to keep the community clean.
Mr. Donkor stated that the Assembly sees this as a serious issue. Cleanliness is important for public health and the environment.
The Assembly believes that everyone should contribute to keeping the district tidy. Skipping these exercises shows a lack of community spirit.
Legal action is being considered as a way to ensure compliance. This aims to encourage all traders to take part in future clean-up activities.
The clean-up exercises are held regularly to improve sanitation in the district.
