Environmental Health Officer at La Dade-Kotopon Municipal Assembly (LaDMA), Francis Lawrence Tetteh, says the assembly lacks the needed staff and logistics to manage the volumes of waste generated in the municipality.
Mr Tetteh expressed this sentiment last Wednesday during a crucial meeting held by the assembly with waste service providers to discuss the improvement of waste collection in the assembly.
He said that only one of the two compaction trucks was in a good condition, adding that eight out of the 12 skip containers were in good condition.
On staffing, Mr Tetteh indicated that the assembly has a staff strength of 81 which is inadequate.
