Residents, business in Accra must pay for waste management not from Common Fund – Ayariga
According to the Minister, waste management in Accra should not be financed from the Common Fund, which is intended to support development across the country.
He explained that the Common Fund is distributed to local authorities across the country to support development, and therefore should not be used to subsidise the cost of waste generated by people who have moved to Accra.
Newly sworn-in Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga, has called for a new approach to financing waste management in Accra, arguing that residents and businesses generating waste in the capital should bear the cost of managing it.
