Dr Bannor questions Mahama's funding mechanism for 40,000 security recruitment plan; says 'Enough of the phantom promises'
“Government can throw about numbers! But how is the government going to raise the much-needed revenue to pay these people?” Dr Bannor asked.
Mahama Ayariga, the Minister of Local Government and Religious Affairs, has unveiled a new waste management plan aimed at enhancing sanitation throughout Ghana. The initiative involves providing households with designated waste bins to replace the traditional open buckets currently in use on waste collection tricycles. Additionally, the government intends to establish waste transfer stations across metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies (MMDAs) to streamline the collection, transportation, and disposal processes of waste.
All MMDAs have been granted a 30-day window to identify and submit proposals for suitable one-acre sites to construct these transfer stations. Ayariga emphasized that this plan is a crucial component of the government's policy directive to develop a robust and efficient waste management system, starting at the individual household level.
The Minister made these announcements during the National Sanitation Day (NSD) exercise held in Accra on Saturday, October 3, 2026, coinciding with the commemoration of World Cleanup Day 2026.
