The Monrovia City Police (MCP) has put measures into place to see the city void of garbage litter in every corner; even onto the principal streets.
For the measures to remain effective, MCP has arrested individuals suspected of dumping dirt into communities. The officers have also imposed immediate fine on residents, who are suspected of violation.
The police said, the arrest of Zogos in the aftermath of the violation have been instituted to deter the act, but to exercise proper disposal to keep the city clean.
MCP said, too often, the city has not been regulated to the extent that residents often take advantage to dispose of their refused through Zogos.
“The Zogos are in the habit of throwing dirt in any part of the city disregards the law to keep clean city. Most of the garbage disposal are done in the principal streets where the garbage is predominantly feces-filled.”
Meanwhile, some residents have frown on the steps the MCP has taken. They said, the imposition of a fine of US$50 for improper dirt disposal is unfair, “because the government has not destinated any site for disposal.”
Residents classified the fine as ‘extortion’ given that no bin wherein central city inhabitants will carry their dirt for disposal.
