Ghanaian musician Keche Joshua has called for a fundamental change in public attitudes towards sanitation, expressing concern over the recurring problem of indiscriminate littering despite efforts to keep the country’s streets clean.
The Keche duo member shared his views in a video message, where he lamented how public spaces often return to a state of filth shortly after being cleaned, blaming the situation on poor environmental habits and a lack of civic responsibility.
According to the musician, regular clean-up exercises and government interventions alone will not provide a lasting solution unless Ghanaians adopt better waste management practices.
“We can clean the streets every weekend, but if our attitude towards waste management does not change, we will keep going in circles. We need a complete reset of the mind,” he said.
Keche Joshua urged citizens to take personal responsibility for protecting the environment by disposing of waste properly and discouraging practices such as littering and dumping refuse into gutters and other public spaces.
He also encouraged Ghanaians to speak up when they witness individuals engaging in irresponsible waste disposal, stressing that collective action is essential to achieving cleaner communities.
His comments come at a time when sanitation has once again become a major topic of public discussion, with growing calls for improved environmental management, stronger enforcement of sanitation laws and greater public education on civic responsibility.
The musician’s remarks add to the ongoing national conversation on environmental sustainability and the role of citizens in maintaining clean and healthy communities.
