We are always doing this to politicians - Weija-Gbawe MP responds to resident demanding items during clean-up exercise
Jerry Ahmed Shaib, the Member of Parliament for Weija-Gbawe, urged residents not to expect food or relief items during the ongoing National General Clean-up Exercise while participating in the exercise after a resident complained. He stated, "We are always doing this to politicians, and when they take advantage of us, we don't get it. This is about your life."
The clean-up exercise, which began on Friday, July 10, forms part of the government's post-flood response following the June 29 floods that affected several communities, particularly in the Greater Accra Region. The purpose of the exercise is to clear drains, remove waste, and improve sanitation in flood-affected communities to help prevent disease outbreaks and reduce the risk of future flooding. The exercise is organized under the auspices of the Post-Flood Mitigation Committee and involves security agencies, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs), waste management companies, and members of the public.
