He further explained that, the initiative to constitute market-specific committees to address the challenge was a result of insanitary conditions in the various markets. He noted that, in the various markets, traders collect and dump refuse in mini drains and onto the streets, a development that needed to be urgently addressed. Mr. Adjei Sowah said traders who fail to abide by the regulations and fees required, would either be driven out of the market or would be issued a summon to face court. The use of special sanitation committee tasked with the responsibility of managing waste concerns in business enclaves, an initiative of the MCE of Accra, was first piloted in the Abossey Okai Spare Parts Enclave.
