offenders, who were handed over to them by the taskforce
free.

cleanup exercises for the region to enhance
environmental sanitation.
Mr. Essandoh appealed to communities in the region to
undertake regular cleanup exercises and urged the media
to sensitise the people on good sanitary practices.
Mr. Job Acquah Markin, Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese District

undertaking cleanup exercises with support from ZoomLion.
