Why Dormaa Is One Of The Cleanest Cities In Ghana

Dormaahene, Chief of Dormaa one of Ghana’s cleanest cities has revealed the secret behind the cleanliness of the town. When you set your foot on the soil of Dormaa, one thing you would notice is how clean the town looks. Below, let’s look at why Dormaa is one of the most cleanest cities in Ghana.

Speaking in an interview on The Lowdown on GhanaWeb TV, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Dr. Nana Agyeman Badu II, admitted that he was encouraged by the traditional ruler of Assin Kushia, Nana Ahunabobrim Prah Agyensaim VI, who has the neatest town in the Central Region and decided to follow his footseps.

“For some time, we’ve been doing but it wasn’t on a larger scale. About three, or four years ago, it struck me about a certain in the Central Region. The town whose overlord is my own brother; Nana Ahunabobrim Prah Agyensaim VI.

“I’ve heard so much about his town that it is the neatest town and in one of my celebrations; I think 22nd or 23rd anniversary on the stool, I had cause to commend him for having chalked that feat.

“So ever since, maybe two or three years, I decided to emulate him to see how I can also lead my people to bring sanitation to their doorsteps to help clean our environment, weed, ensure that we put dustbins and clean our surroundings so, yes, yes. We’ve been doing that. It’s not easy. We’ve gone through about 200 of our towns and still counting, we are still doing it.

“Like I already said, we emulated Assin Kushia. We saw Nana Prah Agyensaim has put dustbins at vantage points and we decided to emulate him. When you see someone is doing a good you know, viable project, you will try to emulate and see how best you can imbibe into your environment.

“So, everywhere that you go, it’s not only in Dormaa Ahenkro, everywhere within the 200 towns and still counting, we make sure that we provide them with dustbins. We put them at the vantage points.

“We ensure that we provide some black bags at their disposal so that some of these rubbers, polythene bags and the small small things we want to litter around, we can put them in. So, that we have a safe and clean environment,” Nana Agyeman Badu II said on The Lowdown with Daniel Oduro.
