Greater Accra Region Minister, Henry Quartey has appealed for the support of all and sundry particularly residents of the country’s capital to help achieve the Make Accra Work agenda.
The non-partisan campaign which was launched earlier this month seeks to resuscitate the socio-economic development of the region.
Sanitation issues, congestion and insecurity over the years have been of major concern to residents in the capital.
Thus, speaking on how the situation could turn around for the good on JoyNews’ The Probe, the Minister said it will require a collective effort.
He acknowledged that although he may be championing the course together with relevant stakeholders, he will fail should the residents act indifferent towards the campaign.
“I am trying to get people in Greater Accra to partner the Regional Coordinating Council. I am not trying to sit here to say I am ‘one-man thousand’ I have come to solve every problem, I cannot do that.
"And so I am pleading with listeners and viewers, that let us work together to make the region in which we sleep, do business, go to church, and make profit to build and go to our funerals and look good, let us make it work. So it is not about what I can do or how much I can do but it is what we can do as a people that matter,” he told host Emefa Apawu.
Touching on the financing of the project, the Ayawaso Central legislator stated should all and sundry contribute their quota there will be no need to take external funds to sponsor the project.
In his view, priortising the financial aspect will result in the failure of the newly launched campaign.
