Annoh-Dompreh demands halt to relocation of Accra waste to Adipa landfill over lack of stakeholder engagement
Minority Chief Whip and Nsawam Adoagyiri MP, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has joined residents of Adipa in his constituency to demand an immediate halt to the relocation of refuse from Agbogbloshie and other parts of Accra to the Adipa Landfill Site. The government has commenced a 90-day operation to evacuate about one million tonnes of accumulated waste […]
Nsawam Adoagyiri MP Frank Annoh-Dompreh has called for an immediate stop to the transportation of waste from Accra to the Adipa landfill. Annoh-Dompreh, who represents the constituency, claims that local stakeholders were not consulted before the operation began. He expressed concern that the local assembly was not aware of the relocation, despite being the governing body of the area.
Annoh-Dompreh also highlighted that Adipa had previously been used as a landfill site, questioning why the government chose this particular location over other existing sites within the Greater Accra Region. He urged the Minister for Local Government to engage directly with residents and other stakeholders regarding waste management.
Assembly Member Emmanuel Asamoah, representing the Asiyaw Adipa Electoral Area, voiced health and environmental concerns linked to the waste disposal activities, including exposure to refuse, unpleasant odors, and potential impacts on water security and public health.
