Minister for Local Government, Mahama Ayariga, of Ghana, is advocating for increased accountability from Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) regarding sanitation. Ayariga stated his intention to actively encourage these local governing bodies to assume greater ownership of sanitation management within their respective jurisdictions. The move signals a push for decentralized responsibility in addressing Ghana’s sanitation challenges. This directive aims to improve waste management and overall public health at the local level throughout Ghana. The minister believes empowering MMDAs is crucial for sustainable sanitation solutions. This initiative hopes to foster more effective and locally-tailored approaches to maintaining clean environments within Ghanaian communities.
