CID Director-General Joins National Sanitation Exercise, Calls for Collective Ownership of Clean Communities

The Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, rolled up her sleeves and joined citizens across the country in the National Sanitation exercise, lending her voice to the growing chorus linking a clean environment to a safer, more secure Ghana.

Her participation formed part of the nationwide clean-up drive directed by President John Dramani Mahama for public institutions, private organizations and ordinary citizens to undertake sanitation activities following recent flooding in parts of the country. The exercise brought together ministries, departments and agencies, metropolitan, municipal and district assemblies, the security services, private companies, traders and residents in a coordinated effort to desilt drains, sweep streets and clear refuse nationwide.

Taking to social media after the exercise, COP Donkor reflected on the deeper connection between sanitation and security, a theme that resonates strongly with her role as Ghana's top criminal investigator.
