Mahama Ayariga calls for major overhaul of Ghana’s waste management system

Newly appointed Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga, has called for a major overhaul of Ghana’s waste management system to make the collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal of waste more efficient.

He directed officials to ensure proper door-to-door collection of segregated waste and instructed sanitation workers to collect waste kept outside residents’ gates instead of waiting for them to hand it over.
