Mahama concerned over unhygienic fish drying video at Tema Newtown
President John Dramani Mahama expressed concern over a video recorded by the Buzstop Boys, showing fish being dried in unhygienic conditions at Tema Newtown. Speaking at Ringway Gospel Centre Assemblies of God, Mahama stated, "The fish is supposed to come into the market. These Buzstop Boys went to Tema Newtown, and if you see the rubbish there, they were drying fish. And that fish is supposed to come into the market."
Mahama said the footage highlights the urgent need for improved sanitation and better management of food processing areas to protect public health. He commended the work of the Buzstop Boys for drawing public attention to sanitation challenges. The President urged Ghanaians to adopt responsible waste disposal habits, warning that throwing sachet water wrappers, Styrofoam containers, food packaging, and other refuse into drains contributes to flooding. Mahama quoted James 2:17, stating that "faith without works is dead," and said environmental cleanliness requires action and must be reflected in the behavior and character of citizens.
