Land's and Natural Resources Minister, Samuel Abu Jinapor has said that the River Dayi in Hohoe Municipality is the cleanest in Ghana.

The Minister made this observation during a working visit to the Volta and Oti Regions and visited the area where River Dayi is situated.

He said he was impressed by the people of Hohoe who are able to make sure that trees are planted across the river to make it beautiful. 

"Have made the dreams of the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo a reality by the way you have kept the place beautiful and clean," Mr Jinapor said 

Mr Abu Jinapor noted that river Dayi in Hohoe is the cleanest in the country and has urged the residents to keep up the good work of making sure that it remained clean always.

Mr Jinapor also commended the Railway Minister who is also the MP for the area, John Peter Amewu for making sure that the youth of Hohoe take up the responsibility of making river Dayi the cleanest and most beautiful in the country. 

Mr Abu Jinapor urged the residents of Hohoe to continue keeping the green Ghana policy a part of them by always making sure that the river is kept safe, green and clean.

The Minister for Land's and Natural resources, Abu Jinapor noted that the  River Dayi  which is one of the oldest in the Volta Region has now become the most cleanest in the country and serves the Hohoe Municipality and its environs 

Mr Abu Jinapor said River Dayi was then serving about 50,000 residents but currently serves 200,000 residents now.

He noted that the river got polluted because of urbanisation which affected water supply in the Hohoe Municipality, adding that due to the bad nature of the river, the residents were mobilised to clean the river and also plant trees on the river banks.

MP for the area, John Peter Amewu noted that the Green Ghana initiative is working and visible for people to see.

He commended the President and the Minister for the great initiative and has asked people who do not believe in the initiative to come to Hohoe and see for themselves.

Chief Director for the Land's Ministry, Prof Patrick Agbesinyale noted that about 40,000 trees were planted across the river banks for beautification and protection. 

Prof Agbesinyale hopes that the river bank continues to be taken care of by the people of the area so that it becomes even better than it currently is.
