Livestock sellers at the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange were on Wednesday forced to clean and desilt a choked gutter in their frontage by the Accra Metro Environmental Health Inspectors.
The environmental officers went out under the Joy Clean Ghana Campaign to enforce the Accra Metropolitan Assembly’s new environmental policy, Operation Clean Your Frontage.
The sellers had used pallets to cover a long stretch of gutter in front of where they trade to aid their customers cross to buy their animals.
The gutter was choked with dried grass they used to feed the animals.
After a brief misunderstanding between the sellers and the Director of AMA Environmental Health Department, Madam Florence Kuukyi, they were compelled to clean the gutter and issued with caution notes.
Madam Kuukyi subsequently arranged for a refuse truck from AMA to cart the refuse away.
