The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) would from January next year enforce vigorously all its bye laws on the environment and cleanliness.
Defaulters would be made to pay fines and face other penalties, the AMA said.
This according to Mr. Phillip Lamptey, Chairman of the Sub Committee on Environment, the enforcement of the laws would enable the Assembly get rid of most of the filth that had engulfed the city and would also help it attain the status of the "Millennium City" that it wanted to attain.
Addressing the press during a cleaning up campaign in some part of Accra on Saturday, he said the exercise would be carried out every last
Saturday of every month.
He appealed to residents of Accra to fully partake in the exercises since defaulters would be made to pay fines and other penalties.
Some of the places that the exercise took place included the Neoplan Station at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, Takoradi Station at Kaneshie, and Zongo
Junction at Mataheko, all suburbs of Accra.
