According to the Menchum Divisional Delegate of Housing and Urban Development, Mr. Chebisuh Emmanuel Neba , the national competition since its inception in 2019, has greatly encouraged local initiatives in issues of hygiene and sanitation through public sensitization as well as the actions of some local development association. The population of most neighborhoods benefitted from actions to improve drainage and sewage disposals, cleaning of gutters, the collection and disposal of several tons of plastic bottles from water courses in towns and villages around the country. There has been the general mobilization of all associations and other development groups in the quarters as a result of this competition.

 

The objectives of the "clean town" competition from the global front according to the Divisional Delegate of Housing and Urban Development, Mr. Chebisuh Emmanuel Neba, is to select the Cleanest Council within the Division that will compete at the Regional Level ahead of the National Competition.

Some might see it as a monster or a threat, while others (like The Colbert Factor) might think it's the greatest thing ever. It would ultimately mean something different to everyone, and that would influence the way each person understood it.
