The Vice President John Dramani Mahama, has reiterated that the Government of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) would continue to do all that it could to improve the living conditions of Ghanaians.
He said what the Government needed was the resolve by the people to support its policies and programmes to be able to sustain its development efforts.
The Vice President was addressing a section of residents of Kumasi after he had joined them in a clean-up exercise at the central business district.
The exercise formed part of preparation to keep the Metropolis tidy ahead of the commemoration of the 54th anniversary of Ghana's independence.
The four-hour exercise was organized jointly by the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) and civil society organizations.
They cleared gutters, evacuated heaped refuse and also disinfected open spaces.
“Government would continue to provide jobs and to create conducive environment for good governance and the rule of law’” vice president had said.
Mr Mahama observed that sanitation-related diseases could be brought down to the barest minimum if the citizenry adopt good sanitary practices at all time.
He said it was time people became alive to their sanitation responsibilities to avoid outbreak of epidemic.
Mr Samuel Sarpong, the Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE), said the Authority would vigorously enforce its bye-laws on sanitation to help to beautify the Metropolis.
Dr Kwaku Agyemang-Mensah, the Regional Minister, said the RCC was committed to assisting KMA and the other district assemblies in their bid to develop the region
