Monrovia City mayor, Jefferson Koijee speaking at a press conference along with Abraham Jusu Garneo, Director-General for Service Programs at MCCMonrovia – Monrovia City Mayor Jefferson Tamba Koijee says the enumeration exercise launched by the city corporation to locate and track waste is nearing completion. Despite frantic efforts exerted by past city mayors including Madam Mary Broh and Clara Doe-Mvoko in cleaning Monrovia, the city continues to be overwhelmed with garbage. Rebranding the “Mary Broh Day” to “Weah for Clean City,” Mayor Koijee made tackling waste his administration’s top priority but low budgetary allocation and lack of proper strategy have been a stumbling block. However, with this new strategy, the Mayor is upbeat that the problem of instituting a proper waste disposal system will be addressed. He stated that in addition to tracking and locating waste, the exercise aims at providing a proper address system for homes, public and business areas across Monrovia.
