“We are always complaining that the city is dirty but the fact is that they [Ghanaians] are indiscipline. I was once driving through Tema and I saw some men dumping refuse on the highway. How do you expect the TMA boss or the AMA boss to clear the place”, he quizzed.

“Refuse collectors dump refuse at the roadside. We need to be more patriotic and if they refuse to do the right thing, just arrest them, beat them well to teach them a lesson”, he advocated.
“There are some people who only need beatings to wake them up. If I become a president just for a year, I will personally beat them to put them at the right place”, he said on Accra-based Net 2 TV.
Government announced it will need over GHC 200 million to improve sanitation in the country.

But the outspoken legislator believes some Ghanaians naturally have indiscipline behavior, a situation he says puts Nana Addo’s government in bad light.
“We can all help to keep our city clean but some of the people are just not helping. They want to make the NPP government unpopular and sabotage Nana Addo”, he said.
Mr Agyapong blames the prevalence of diseases on the attitude of the citizenry towards sanitation.
