The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Sheikh I. C. Quaye, said the donation was a fulfillment of a long time dream to clear the city of mosquitoes and other insects injurious to humans.
He said the equipment would be distributed to the sub-metros to be used on 120 breeding sites within the Accra and Tema metropolis.
