This announcement was made during a Special Public Lecture at the Wisconsin International University College in Accra, where Mr Mahama emphasized the need for a comprehensive development strategy that diversifies focus within the sector.

In an interview with Citi News, the President of ChaLoG, Richard Fiadomor, emphasized that the sanitation ministry should be merged with the Ministry of Local Governance for efficiency

“During the NDC administration, there was this monthly cleanup exercise that was done to ensure that the local areas become clean. When this government by Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo came they had to shelve that particular thing and form a new ministry.

“For us as a Chamber, we agree with His Excellency John Dramani Mahama that the sanitation waste management must go back to the local government.”
