Man Who Dropped Tissue in a Gutter Made To Clean the Entire Place

• A Ghanaian man was punished for littering and filming himself to protest the lack of roadside dustbins
• Authorities made him clean the gutter, highlighting the importance of responsible expression of frustrations
• Public reactions varied, emphasising the need for better waste management solutions in Ghana

A Ghanaian man who recorded himself while flouting a sanitation law in his Municipal Assembly was found and punished by the authorities.

In a video, a young man recorded himself dumping a tissue into a gutter because there was no bin by the roadside.

He explained that he dumped the tissue to get the authorities to place dustbins at vantage points in Winneba, in the Effutu Municipal Assembly, Central Region.

However, the Effutu Municipal Assembly task force found him after seeing the video and punished him for littering.

The task force brought him back to the place he littered and made him clean the place.

They gave him a traditional standing broom and made him sweep the gutter and collect the rubbish after he gathered it.

After he was made to clean, the young man admitted that he did not use the best medium to express his frustration and entreated others to do better.

"I was penalised for what I did earlier on, throwing a tissue in the gutter. The main purpose of me doing that was to demand dust bins to be placed by the roadside 30km from each other. But I think my action somehow made it wrong. So, I was penalised; this was my punishment. So, I wouldn't encourage anyone to put up such behaviour."

"Does he know what 30km is? Lol. However, he had a genuine concern about placing dustbins at vantage points in order to curb littering. You hardly see dustbins around, and that's so bad, especially in a country like ours."
