“I believe this is what is expected of all of us as Ghanaians, where politicians like him and various stakeholders will partner and assist government for us to be able to preserve and save the natural resources of our country” he said. 

MrJinapor added that he has travelled the whole country and this is by far the cleanest river he has seen. Adding that it is his wish that all other rivers in the country will be as clean as this has become. 

MrAmewu on his part, called for support for the Lands Minister, entreating all Ghanaians to support the Green Ghana Project come 2022. 

The Chief Director at the Ministry, Prof. Patrick Agbesinyale, giving a brief background of the river said because of urbanisation the river got polluted with heavy waste which affected water supply in the area to the point of Households getting access to water only once a week. 

He said to salvage the Dayi River, a tree planting project was launched in between February and March this year which mobilised the youth to clear the river of all filth and then planted 40,000 trees, 100 meters along both banks of the river. 

Whiles assuring that 99.9percent of all these trees planted have survived.
