Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 31001, member: 636"] Zoomlion Ghana Limited waits for GH¢1.2 billion payment from the government. This money covers waste management services provided during the past two years. Ahmed Ibrahim, who heads the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs, shared this information with reporters. He mentioned how this large debt worries everyone in the current administration. The government must team up with private companies like Zoomlion to solve Ghana's trash problems, Ibrahim explained. "We work closely with Zoomlion on waste management challenges across the country, mainly focusing on recycling plastic trash," he said. Strong partnerships between public officials and waste companies have become necessary for keeping Ghana clean. Ibrahim praised Zoomlion's amazing sanitation equipment and facilities. The company has built modern solid and liquid waste treatment centers throughout Ghana. These recycling plants stand unmatched because the government lacks similar equipment to handle the daily trash produced in cities. "Zoomlion's dedication to creating advanced waste systems across Ghana remains unequaled," Ibrahim added. The minister warned about a possible nationwide trash crisis if Zoomlion stopped working. He remembered earlier times when human waste went directly into the sea, causing environmental damage and health problems. Today, Zoomlion turns sewage into useful compost and charcoal instead. This change follows the 2016 ban on ocean dumping started by former President Dramani Mahama. The government should pay more attention to keeping cities clean, Ibrahim suggested. He pointed to a recent cholera outbreak that hit coastal areas like Cape Coast, Winneba, and Takoradi on October 24, 2023. Better public education about dirty living conditions might prevent future disease outbreaks, he believes. The minister sees teaching people about cleanliness as an important step toward healthier communities. [/QUOTE]
