The arrest was carried out by the La-Nkwananang-Madina Municipal Assembly/ Police Task force during last Saturday’s National Sanitation Exercise led by LaNMMA with the assistance of the police within the Assembly’s catchment area.
Head of Environmental Health Unit of LaNMMA, Mr. Joseph Quacoe, said the arrest was because the petty traders refused to participate in the clean up exercise.
The traders were therefore fined and warned.

The 15th National Sanitation Day exercise in Madina begun with earnest at about 6.00a.m., with the participation of Madina Market women, traders at the roadside and the staff of LaNMMA.
Two organizations, the Madina Queen of Peace Catholic Church Marshallans and the Miss Galaxy Queens of Madina also participated. These groups were supplied with tools for the exercise by LaNMMA.
Mr. Quacoe described the sanitation exercise as successful but was quick to add that there were lots of challenges.
He explained that most residents had to be compelled before they embarked on the cleanup exercise.
The LaNMMA waste trucks supported by Alliance Waste carted the entire refuse for disposal at Nsumia near Nsawam and Kpone landfill sites.
