Minister for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, Mahama Ayariga, has urged every Ghanaian household to possess at least three dustbins in order to tackle the nation's escalating sanitation issues. During a gathering with the Christian Council of Ghana, the Minister highlighted poor sanitation as a significant national concern necessitating collaborative efforts between the government and citizens.
Ayariga pointed out that incorrect disposal and amalgamation of various waste types at the household level contribute substantially to Ghana's sanitation predicaments. He emphasized that households should initiate waste segregation at the source by allocating three dustbins for different waste categories. Ayariga underscored the importance of Ghanaians treating sanitation matters seriously and embracing responsible waste management practices to attain a cleaner and healthier environment.
The Minister also encouraged citizens to learn from nations like Rwanda, which he noted had achieved commendable progress in maintaining clean and well-managed communities. Ayariga questioned why Ghana could not emulate such measures and replicate their success in sanitation. He asserted that addressing the sanitation challenge would necessitate a shift in attitudes and heightened responsibility from individuals, households, and communities.
