Zoomlion Ghana Limited, a private waste management company, has handed over a new sanitation truck to assist Ejisu Municipal Assembly to improve sanitation within their catchment areas.
The move was aimed at replacing the broken down sanitation trucks and also augment Ejisu Municipality fight against the country’s sanitation menaces.
Speaking at the forecourt of Ejisu Municipal Premises MCE, Hon. Samuel Oduro Frimpong commended Zoomlion for joining forces with the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development to rid the country of filth.
“There are indeed a number of challenges, but of course, the key one being financing and other areas being capacity with our Assemblies to manage the sanitation program because it is the responsibility of the district assemblies to take care of sanitation that is one of your key responsibility.
“So therefore if sanitation is an issue we will have to point hands at our MMDA`s and it is important that we have a partnership in this arrangement and therefore I commend Zoomlion for partnering District Assemblies to find solutions to the sanitation problem,” she stated.
“Zoomlion is a key player in the field but other private sectors should also take up the challenge and support the work of sanitation in the country. Zoomlion has started and definitely providing the lead role in that. But it’s opened to other private sector companies to be participants,” she emphasized.
Hon Samuel Oduro Frimpong appealed to the various Environment Health Unit headed by Ernest Bodoung to make good use of the trucks and ensure its sustainability.
