The manager of Johnvic Memorial Hotel Ltd., Dzikum Justice, has been convicted by the Hohoe Magistrate Court for illegally piling refuse near the hotel premises. According to the court, this violates sections 56 (a), (b), and (c) of the Public Health Act 851 of 2012. Dzikum admitted guilt and was sentenced to a fine of GHS 1,440, with an additional six months in prison if payment is delayed.
The prosecutor, Mr. Daniel Dotse Eklo, an Environmental Health Analyst, informed the court that on September 25, 2025, sanitary inspectors found the convict dumping waste behind the hotel during a regular inspection. Despite being notified to rectify the issue and undergo a reinspection, Dzikum failed to comply. A follow-up inspection on May 12, 2026, revealed that the problem persisted.
The Environmental Health Officers stated that Dzikum's actions were detrimental to the environment, the hotel's clients, and could result in disease outbreaks and flooding. The convict was subsequently issued a court summons for the offense.
