Member of Parliament for Ayawaso Central and the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey has spoken against attempts to adopt his "intellectual property" the 'Let's Make Accra Work' initiative.

This follows a similar initiative in the Ashanti Region.

Speaking in a one-on-one interview on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo' Henry Quartey said: He's (Zoomlion boss) worked with me perfectly so far but there is something called intellectual property . . . I'm aware that he's managed to get almost all the Regional Ministers across the country to do same . . . I won't allow it. We have not even finished with the work in Accra so how can the same be done in Kumasi? NO. He has not finished with Accra so he cannot go and do Kumasi. It's my intellectual property, I will not allow it 'Let's Make Accra Work' is my baby and so if the same campaign is being taken to Kumasi, I should know . . . "

The Regional Minister launched the ‘Let’s Make Accra Work’ campaign with a view of helping to bring discipline and sanity to the region.

Meanwhile, the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah has responded insisting that his campaign is different from 'Let's Make Accra Work'

"We are not doing let Ashanti work. Our project is 'sustainable cleaning, greening and beautification of Ashanti'. We started the pilot project in 2018 but faced funding problems; that is why we submitted a new project report to partner Zoomlion Company Limited . . . so our project is not the same as what is going on in Accra," he replied in a text to Kwami Sefa Kayi, host of the programme.
