Former Accra Mayor and Member of Parliament for Ablekuma South, Alfred Oko Vanderpuije, has assured Ghanaians that an NDC-led government will take decisive steps to address Accra’s sanitation challenges, congestion, and general indiscipline.
Speaking in Parliament on Thursday, February 27, ahead of the State of the Nation Address, Oko Vanderpuije emphasized that once District Chief Executives (DCEs) are sworn in, they will be directed to prioritize sanitation and urban management.
He highlighted persistent issues such as waste management failures, street congestion, and illegal trading, stressing that the NDC’s overwhelming victory in the 2024 elections reflects the people’s demand for real change.
“Very soon, we will have our District Chief Executives, and when that is done, they will be informed and instructed to ensure that we reset in all operations, and the sanitation issue will be taken care of. We will deal with congestion and illegal trading. That is what we campaigned on, and the people voted massively for us, so we will make Ghana work again,” he stated.
His comments come amid growing concerns over urban management in the capital, with calls for stricter enforcement of sanitation laws and decongestion efforts.
