No budget allocated for nationwide clean-up exercise – Greater Accra Regional Minister

The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Akweley Ocloo, says the government has not allocated a budget for the nationwide cleanup exercise, revealing that the operation is being supported largely through donations and contributions from private organisations, volunteers and development partners.

According to her, waste management companies, including Zoomlion, have donated equipment, while non-governmental organisations and private firms have also supplied logistics to support the exercise.

Speaking on JoyNews’ The Pulse Show, on July 9, Ms Ocloo said the exercise is being driven by collective support rather than direct government funding, with several organisations providing logistics, equipment and refreshments to facilitate the operation.
