The
Deputy Minister of Central Region Aquanas Tawiah Quansah commended efforts of Zoomlion
Ghana Limited and
entreated other companies to take advantage of the project to enable them
improve on the quality of service being rendered through the use
of simple but modern technologies to ensure client satisfaction.
He
said the Alliance would complement other modules such as the Better Ghana
Agenda as well as the sanitation improvement package to deal with the waste
management menace. Mr Aquanas Tawiah Quansah said waste management was an
integral part of city planning in every country, and the Ministry
of Local Government and Rural Development had made efforts to initiate policies to regulate and
provide solutions to waste management challenges in Metropolitan, Municipal and
District Assembles.

He
noted that it had been observed that uncollected waste was dumped
indiscriminately in the streets and in drains, obstructing drainage channels,
and creating ideal environs for the breeding of insects, rodents which causes
diseases. He appealed on all not to be partisan when it comes to the cleaning of
their environment since when there is health epidemic like cholera it does not only affect members
of one political party.
