You mean you need a report and then what? You don't have the monies to pay the waste contractors so what difference would a report make?

Talk is cheap for Africa leaders. Every day the same cheap talk but doing nothing. Even common water they can't provide for their people

I thought we had the National Environmental Sanitation Strategy and Action Plan (NESSAP) 2010 - 2015. What happened to that?

It is a brilliant document and we are not even blinking at it. After I read it I thought we are making huge steps to deal wit our waste.
We are jokers.

Yep, it's not NDC Government responsibility to pay waste management companies, but somebody else. If you gave funds to that "somebody else" they will have the money to pay the people who have been contracted to keep the towns and cities clean. Ghanaians want everything for free. Nkwaseafo

We talk of power outages due to electricity rationing all over the place but none of our so-called learned experts with degrees upon degrees after their names is coming up with the idea of waste management by means of power generation using garbage as as secondary fuel to generate steam in boilers to drive steam turbines to generate power to supplement our anaemic power supply system in the country.

This technology has been proved to be environmentally safe in conjuction with ESP's( Electrostatic precipitators) which will save a lot of landfills from being overwhelmed because all that will need to be sent to the landfills will be the reduced volume of ash from the ESP's.

It's given that a source of fuel(natural gas, bunker "C", jet fuel, diesel fuel) will be needed for the initial firing of the boilers and once the boilers are up to temperature the supplementary fuel can be added through a conveyor belt system to the boiler solid fuel bed.

This system is very popular in some of the cities in North America.

Ghana can have about 6 of these units strategically placed across the country especially in areas where garbage is generated in large volumes.

Can our energy sector please look into this and see how feasible this can be in our country?

"Killing two birds with one stone" kinda idea because it will help with both our power generation and garbage control issues.

Where are the so-called experts? Speak up please.

GOD SAVE GHANA!!!!!
