Mahama cites viral ‘Buz Stop Boys’ video to urge better sanitation practices

President John Dramani Mahama has urged Ghanaians to take greater responsibility for environmental protection following a viral video by the Buz Stop Boys showing fish being processed under insanitary conditions in Tema New Town. The video highlighted the need for citizens to play their part in keeping communities clean, particularly in relation to waste disposal and food safety.

Mahama emphasized that government efforts to improve sanitation would only succeed if citizens also adopted responsible waste disposal habits, warning that indiscriminate dumping of sachet water plastics, Styrofoam and other refuse into drains after floods subside contributes to future flooding and environmental degradation.
