Year after year, efforts are made to rid the country of its filth but just somehow, the filth manages to increase continually. Some areas though, on a normal day may seem significantly clean till it rains, and the floods pull out the hidden waste from drainage systems. In their case, persons who are paid to transport waste from various homes leave the waste unattended to till the rains sweep them back into the drainage systems. President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo pledged to make Accra the neatest and best city in Africa by the end of his first term of office.
