I also wish to appeal to the residents of all communities – urban and rural, coastal and interior, – to take pride in keeping your surroundings clean and beautiful. Community Development Councils, Community Policing Groups and other Community organisations and civic bodies can play a crucial role in ensuring proper systems of garbage disposal and maintenance of clean parapets and clean drains and trenches. Such efforts will in the first place benefit you, your children and those around you. Small conscious action when duplicated in each individual will bring results of very great proportions.
