Speaking to Classic FM News, the Bono East Regional Manager of Zoomlion Ghana Limited, Mr. Benedict Awuah, said

The exercise was aimed at protecting residents from diseases while promoting a cleaner and healthier environment.

According to him, the exercise focused on public facilities that attract large numbers of people and therefore require regular disinfection and disinfestation to minimise health risks.

Mr. Awuah appealed to residents, market users, traders and other stakeholders to cooperate with the authorities and support efforts to maintain proper sanitation within the municipality.
