As stakeholders in the sanitation and ICT sector push for more involvement of private companies in the decision-making process in the sector, Mr. Kenneth Ashigbey, the Managing Director of Graphic Communications Group Ltd has observed that the nation can’t develop if such opportunities are not made available.
Speaking at the maiden sanitation stakeholder’s forum which was organized in Accra, the MD for Graphic Communications Group called on the media to be partners in the effort to solve the country’s sanitation challenges.
He said to do that, they would first have to understand the issues to be able to report correctly on them and see how they related to the development of the country.
Mr Ashigbey noted that the reason the media had not paid much attention to reporting on sustainable waste management and sanitation issues in the past was “because ordinarily news about sanitation does not sell and it is also because consumers of media do not focus on these”.
