Monrovia, Liberia – To maintain clean cities throughout Liberia, a number of government agencies are collaborating with local government entities. Along with other line ministries and agencies, the cooperation comprises the Liberia National Police (LNP), the Monrovia City Corporation (MCC), the Ministry of Public Works (MPW), and the Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation (LWSC).
To support government efforts to maintain clean cities, the group established an Inter-Governmental Agency City-Cleaning Taskforce on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.
As part of the ARREST Agenda, public works minister Roland Layfette Giddings emphasized at a press conference on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, that maintaining clean cities is the government’s top concern.
According to Minister Giddings, the Inter-Governmental Agencies City-Cleaning Taskforce is eager to participate in a coordinated effort to clean Monrovia and other cities across the nation.
He said the Taskforce’s formation was a step toward improving sanitation and outlined a strategy to maintain the city green and clean.
Mayor John Charuk Siafa of Monrovia City Corporation (MCC) emphasized the necessity of ongoing interactions and tenacious efforts to guarantee the cleanliness of the city.
Mayor Siafa emphasized that communities must work together to maintain clean streets, cities, and other urban areas.
According to him, everyone’s assistance would be sought by the Inter-Governmental Agencies City-Cleaning Taskforce in order to maintain a clean city.
To assist the task force’s efforts to clean up Liberia, Mayor Siafa organized the populace and requested the media to inform the people about trash management in Monrovia and the surrounding areas.
The creation of regulations and their subsequent application, according to Mayor Siafa, are not what he would refer to as “a quick exercise.” Instead, the task force is dedicated to making sure that its objectives are met, starting with community deployment teams.
According to Mayor Siafa, the local government is developing policies with marketers, pity traders, and street vendors with the goal of implementing a more sensible strategy to modernize the city.
Speaking as well, Mr. John M. Saah, Deputy Chief of Public Safety for the Liberia National Police (LNP), reiterated the police’s dedication to enforcing the law in order to maintain the cleanliness of the city.
