Mr Benjamin Komla Kpodo, the Member of Parliament for Ho Central, said they would discuss with their community members how they could work together to maintain good sanitation in the Region.
Mr Amin Abdul-Rahaman, Director of General Administration at the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development, said the Ministry would distribute about 10,000 litter bins in the Volta Region as part of the National Sanitation Day programme.
He said even though the exercise was a nationwide one, the Ministry was rotating it on regional basis, “We have done Greater Accra, Ashanti and the Northern Regions, this time we will be in the Volta Region.”
Mr Abdul-Rahaman said the Ministry had engaged private service providers to help with the waste collection after the exercise.
