Government responsible for Ghana's sanitation crisis - Bekwai MP
Ralph Poku-Adusei, the Deputy Ranking Member of Parliament's Sanitation Committee, blamed the government for Ghana's worsening sanitation challenges on Tuesday, July 7, speaking on Citi FM. He argued that authorities have failed to provide the resources needed to ensure effective waste management, stating, "I must admit that over the past year and a half that we've been in Parliament, the report, our observations, our visit to several sites when it comes to sanitation and other related sanitation matters is not the best. It's appalling."
The Bekwai Member of Parliament stated that the government has not fulfilled its responsibility under the country's Environmental Sanitation Policy to guarantee proper sanitation and waste management. He stressed that sanitation remains the government's responsibility and should not be viewed as an obligation to be shared with private waste management companies. Mr. Poku-Adusei further argued that the government currently lacks the logistics, infrastructure, and personnel needed to effectively manage waste nationwide.
