The Member of Parliament for Bekwai Constituency, Ralph Poku-Adusei, has assured constituents of imminent improvements in sanitation following a stakeholder meeting addressing the area's persistent waste management issues.
The meeting, part of a working visit by the Parliamentary Committee on Sanitation and Water Resources, involved the Bekwai Municipal Assembly, Environmental and Sanitation officers, Zoomlion Ghana, and representatives from the Kumasi Compost and Recycling Plant.
The discussions revealed several challenges plaguing the constituency, including inadequate Zoomlion waste containers, inefficiencies in the Sanitation Improvement Plan (SIP), fumigation difficulties, and problems with the final dumping site at Sesekro.
To tackle these issues, stakeholders agreed on the urgent need for a mobile transfer station or a compost recycling plant in Bekwai to convert refuse into organic manure, enhance household waste collection, and create job opportunities.
