On the 20 percent allocation for the completion of legacy projects, the MCE affirmed his commitment to tackle the Municipal Assembly block to provide suitable working environment for the various decentralised departments, bring them under one roof and make access easy for the public.

Other projects of concern under the legacy projects, he noted include ICT block at Tesano Cluster of schools, Community-based Health Planning Services (CHPS) compound at Christian Village, some school buildings Anomle compound, Tesano Cluster of schools.

Mr Christian Tetteh Badger disclosed his keen interest in keeping the municipality clean, the reason he supervised the clearing of waste in and around lapaz enclave few days after assuming office, adding that Zoomlion workers are still on site cleaning the areas.

He disclosed that the Assembly is working on engaging the services of other waste management organisations through competitive bidding in order to keep a robust waste collection system.

"Our dream at ONMA is to ensure a two-way waste collection system where we collect in the morning and in the evening; and also looking at the possibilities of paying the workers on two-week basis to motivate them".

He said sanitation though not fully covered has seen much improvement and the Assembly is on course to ensuring a cleaner municipality.
