Concerned Second Hand Dealers Association bares teeth over ban - Adomonline.com

The Concerned Second Hand Dealers Association of Ghana is breathing on the neck of government over government’s decision to ban the importation of used appliance into the country.

President of Concerned Second Hand Dealers Association, Daniel Asare, disclosed this in an interview on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem Thursday.

The decision to ban the importation of second hand electrical appliances, popularly known as ‘home use’, is to save the public from carbon emissions.

The Energy Commission has said Ghana was gradually becoming a dumping site for electronic waste as a result of these products.

But President of Concerned Second Hand Dealers Association said the claim by Energy Commission that Ghana is a dumping site for electronic waste is not backed by science and data.

Mr Asare appealed to government to intervene and stop the ban on the importation of second hand appliances.

Meanwhile, Assistant Manager in charge of Energy Efficiency Inspection and Enforcement at the Commission, Hubert Nsoh Zan, said the ban will be effected.
