Stakeholder consultations intensify ahead of Let Love Lead’s June 14 clean-up

Organisers of this year’s national clean-up exercise, scheduled for Saturday, June 14, are intensifying engagements with key stakeholders as preparations enter their final phase.

The exercise, to be held at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, will mark the 10th anniversary of the June 3 disaster, which claimed over 150 lives in one of the nation’s most tragic incidents of flooding and fire.

The upcoming event is expected to attract hundreds of volunteers, civil society groups, and state institutions for what is being described as a large-scale demonstration of civic duty and remembrance.

In the past week, organisers have met with several influential leaders and agencies, including the National Chief Imam, Members of Parliament, traditional rulers, the Mayor of Accra, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), and other key officials. The meetings are aimed at ensuring broad-based participation and effective coordination.

Aside from the clean-up, the June 14 campaign will include medical outreach, educational sessions on disaster preparedness, and donations to survivors and families of victims of the 2015 disaster. Interfaith prayers will also be held to honour the lives lost, according to Nene Lartey Osakonor I (popularly known as Big Dawood), founder of the organizing team, ‘Let Love Lead.

Institutional partners invited to support the effort include NADMO, the Ghana National Fire Service, Zoomlion Ghana, the Ghana Ambulance Service, and major media houses.

Organisers say the campaign is not only about sanitation, but about fostering national unity, encouraging proactive environmental action, and commemorating a shared national tragedy with purpose and dignity.
