A high-pow­ered 26-mem­ber delegation from Momba­sa, Kenya, led by Governor Abdullswamad Sherrif Nassir, has visited Zoomlion Ghana Limited and other subsidiaries of the Jo­spong Group of Companies (JGC) to study the company's innovative waste management model.The delegation, which included Members of Parliament (MPs), technical staff, and administrative personnel, aimed to explore poten­tial areas of collaboration and emu­late the Jospong Group's sanitation module in Kenya.The visit follows a working trip by the Executive Chairman of JGC, Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong, to Kenya in July this year, aimed at promoting a Pan-African solution to sanitation challenges by trans­forming them into opportunities for growth.Their visit focused on under­standing how the Jospong Group uses green technologies and state-of-the-art facilities to address environmental sanitation issues.During their four-day visit (July 29-August 1, 2025), the delegation toured several JGC facilities, includ­ing Sewerage Systems Ghana Limit­ed (SSGL), the Zoomlion Transfer Station at Pantang, Accra Compost and Recycling Plant (ACARP), Kpone Landfill Site, Universal Plastic Product and Recycling Plant (UPPR) in Accra, Kumasi Compost and Recycling Plant (KCARP), Medical Waste Treatment Facility, and the Kumasi Waste Water Treat­ment Plant in the Ashanti Region.The delegation praised the Jo­spong Group's waste management model, which transforms waste into resources and opportunities, and commended the company for its leadership in waste management across Africa and for creating em­ployment for the youth.Governor Nassir outlined Mom­basa's waste management strategy, which includes dividing the county into 600 units and employing young people to collect waste.

The collected waste will be transported to a transfer station and then to a material recovery facility-eliminat­ing reliance on landfills, which harm the environment."In the past, waste was disposed of haphazardly due to the lack of a formal collection system," the Governor said. "To address this, we're creating 600 collection units and employing young people.

We'll pay them salaries to prevent cartels from exploiting the system," he added.He expressed gratitude to Dr Agyepong for his support and upcoming participation in Kenya's devolution conference.Dr Agyepong, in his remarks, emphasised the importance of partnerships and local empow­erment. "We're committed to making this project a success.

Our team will conduct feasibility studies with Mombasa County and ensure knowledge transfer so locals can eventually operate the facilities," he said.Senator Mohamed Faki Mwiny­ihaj noted, "The Jospong Group's waste model is impressive and replicable in Kenya." Farida Ab­dallah, Chair of Mombasa County Public Service Board, highlighted its potential for job creation and environmental protection.MPs from Likoni, Mvita, Kisauni, Changamwe, and Mishi Mboko constituencies echoed these sentiments, while Mombasa's Minister for Blue Economy and Agriculture also backed efforts to adopt the model.During the tour, H.E.
