Techiman (Brong Ahafo) 16 July '99

A Ghanaian lecturer at the British Colombia University in Canada, Dr Senyo Adjibolosso, has suggested the formation of environmental vigilante clubs to promote compliance of sanitation laws.

He said such clubs should have the power to apprehend those who pollute the environment for prosecution.

Dr Adjibolosso was speaking after a clean up exercise at the Holy Family hospital and other parts of the town as part of a programme to rid the town of filth.

The "Techiman Beautification Project'' was instituted by Professor Joseph Mensah and Professor Adjibolosso, both lecturers at the Colombia University to encourage the residents to cultivate sound environmental practices.

The weekly clean up exercise is the second to be organised under the project. More than 160 people drawn from the Techiman Secondary School, the Techiman Tourism and Environmental Club and the public participated.
