The Tano South Municipal Assembly has recently taken action to address the sanitation crisis left in the wake of Zoomlion Ghana Limited's contract termination by hiring limited casual workers for daily cleaning tasks. During a cleanup event on August 22, Municipal Chief Executive Emmanuel Kwame Frimpong noted that while the casual workers are only a small fraction of the required staff, their presence is better than no intervention at all.
The assembly plans to expand its casual workforce next year through the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF). Municipal Environmental Health Officer James Oware stressed that professional oversight is crucial for effective sanitation management and called on the central government for financial and policy support to hire permanent sanitation staff.
The assembly's efforts align with UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) addressing health, clean water, decent work, and sustainable cities. Proactive sanitation improvements can yield long-term benefits for Ghana, including reduced healthcare costs, stimulated local trade, and increased workforce productivity.
