President Irfaan Ali said that following the National Cleanup Exercise today, heavy focus will be placed on enforcement to ensure that the country remains clean.
A release from the Office of the President said that Ali made this statement as he joined in the continuation of the National Cleanup Exercise along Vlissengen Road in the vicinity of St. Sidwell’s Primary School this morning.
The President pointed to some improvement in the cleanliness in the area since the last exercise, this he said is a step in the right direction. He, however, called for intensified efforts to curb the dumping of garbage.
“We have given enough time, enough education programmes; enforcement is going to become a major aspect of what we are doing.”
The President said that following the national cleanup effort, work will begin on improving the secondary drainage run-off across the country in a phased manner.
