Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey, has cautioned the 'Operation Clean your frontage' task force to only operate in the mandate given to them.

The “Operation Clean Your Frontage” initiative aims to enforce sanitation regulation within the Greater Accra region as part of the “Make Greater Accra Work” programme being championed by the Regional Coordinating Council.

In an interview on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', the Minister who doubles as the Member of Parliament for Ayawaso Central Constituency said the members of the task force made up of over 3,000 people will be trained by the Ghana Armed Forces but "at the same time we've told them that they're not soldiers and they're not going to be trained as soldiers and they can never be soldiers".

The Greater Accra Regional minister further indicated that the initiative is backed by law and urged Ghanaians not to flout it.

The "Operation Clean Your Frontage" was introduced by the government as part of measures to better the sanitation situation in Accra.

The initiative, being championed by the Greater Accra Regional Minister, is under the auspices of the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council and the ‘Let’s make Accra work’ agenda.

"A person who undertakes any commercial or industrial activity shall ensure that the drains and frontage of that premise up to the middle of the road are clean and kept neat at all times."

Also by the national law, "any person who fails to keep the above standards contravenes section 296 sub-section 18 of Act 29/60."
