The Kumawu Traditional Council, under the leadership of Barima Sarfo Tweneboa Kodua, Kumawumanhene, and Nana Serwaa Amponsah, Kumawu Hemaa, has organized a community clean-up exercise to promote cleanliness and improve sanitation in Kumawu.
The exercise took place on Saturday, October 10, 2026, starting at 6:00 a.m., with residents of Kumawu coming together to support the initiative and make the exercise a success.
The clean-up exercise began at Kumawu Abotanso Junction and proceeded through the Kumawu Lorry Station and the Kumawu Roundabout before ending at the Chief’s Palace (Akyerema Palace), passing through the Anglican Primary School area.
Participants worked together to clean the designated areas, remove unwanted waste and gutters and clear bushy areas as part of efforts to improve the general appearance of the community.
The exercise attracted members of various institutions and organizations, churches, and the Kumawu Local Council of Churches, alongside other residents who joined hands to support the initiative.
The main purpose of the exercise was to keep Kumawu clean, tidy up public spaces, and clear overgrown vegetation in selected areas of the town.
Maintaining a clean environment is essential for public health and community development. Regular clean-up exercises can help reduce the accumulation of waste, prevent the growth of weeds in public spaces, and encourage residents to take greater responsibility for their surroundings.
The initiative also served as an opportunity to promote environmental awareness and encourage residents to make sanitation a regular part of their daily activities rather than relying solely on occasional clean-up exercises.
The successful organization of the exercise highlights the important role traditional authorities and community members can play in promoting environmental cleanliness.
Residents are encouraged to maintain the areas cleaned during the exercise, dispose of waste properly, and support future sanitation initiatives. Continued cooperation among traditional authorities, religious organizations, institutions, and residents will be essential to keeping Kumawu clean and attractive.
