Ps. Felix Dela Klutse- Achimota Area Coordinator

Apostle Tekper said communities are being choked with garbage which often results in environmental havoc to the inhabitants of the place, adding that, if only people would be cautious enough to avoid dirt, the nation would be neat and free from diseases.  He advised that, it would be of great service if every Ghanaian would focus on cleanliness, and encourage others to emulate the communal act of The Church of Pentecost.

The Achimota Area Coordinator of The Environmental Care Campaign, Pastor Felix Dela Klutse revealed that the exercise is expected to be done monthly at different locations within the Area.  He said filth brings sicknesses and all sorts of things that do not augur well for society, stressing that, it was high time open defecations and indiscrimate waste disposal in the area stopped.
