The Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs (MLGCRA), Hon. Ahmed Ibrahim has hailed Zoomlion Ghana Limited for the unparalleled sanitation infrastructure so far in West Africa amid a strategic collaboration to tackle Ghana\u2019s waste management crisis, particularly plastic.<\/strong>
\nThe minister was peaking on Adom TV in Accra, when he underscored the indispensability of Zoomlion\u2019s cutting-edge facilities, which position Ghana as a regional leader in sustainable waste solutions.<\/p>\n

“The kind of sanitation infrastructure that Zoomlion has invested – both in municipal solid and liquid waste and robustness of the recycling waste management plants is so unparalleled,” he averred.<\/p>\n

Hon. Ahmed proceed on to praise Zoomlion\u2019s nationwide network of modern recycling plants, faecal waste management systems, and sewage-to-resource technologies, which convert waste into compost and charcoal.<\/p>\n

These facilities, he noted, align with Ghana\u2019s 2016 ban on ocean dumping of faecal waste, a policy enacted under former President John Dramani Mahama that halted hazardous coastal pollution.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore Zoomlion, faecal waste flowed freely into the sea that caused diseases such as cholera. Their infrastructure is now our lifeline,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n

The Minister who has overside responsibility of sanitation, however, raised alarms over a crippling 1.2 billion Ghana cedis debt owed to Zoomlion by the government, inherited from the previous Akufo-Addo administration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to him, this debt has been a significant concern for the government, adding that despite this \u201cwe are closely collaborating with Zoomlion to address Ghana’s waste management challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe collaborating closely with Zoomlion to address waste management challenges in the country, particularly focusing on recycling plastic waste,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

He stressed the necessity for the government to forge a solid partnerships with private waste management firms, and urged Zoomlion not to relent on their efforts to complete their waste infrastructure transformation agenda.<\/p>\n

Ibrahim Ahmed also linked recent cholera outbreaks in coastal cities like Cape Coast, Winneba, and Takoradi (October 24, 2023) to lingering gaps in public sanitation education.<\/p>\n

He urged intensified advocacy to curb reckless waste disposal, particularly in water bodies critical for domestic and agricultural use.<\/p>\n

“Zoomlion’s work goes beyond just sweeping our streets, it’s about safeguarding national health and environmental sustainability,” he asserted, rallying support for stronger public-private partnerships.<\/p>\n
