1 house, 1 dust bin will solve sanitation problem in Ghana

*1 household, 1 bin will solve sanitation problem – Zoomlion Boss*

The Chief Executive Officer of Zoomlion Ghana limited says providing every household with litter bins solve Ghana’s waste challenge. This, Joseph Siaw Agyepong, said has become necessary because improper waste storage continues to hinder the progress of work done by waste contractors.

“When the waste is not stored in a waste bin for collection by the waste contractor, then we are rest assured that it might end up at unauthorized places, hence the urgent need to ensure that households have waste bins." He also wants the sanitation regulations enforced to change attitudes for effective waste management.

Speaking in Accra Tuesday At a stakeholders’ forum on Sanitation organized by IMANI Africa in Accra Tuesday, Mr Agyepong noted that Zoomlion’s intervention by desilting the Odaw drains averted a possible flood situation last year. “Despite not being paid for our desilting works on the Odaw drains, Zoomlion was still committed to desilting the Odaw drains to save lives and properties which has been a phenomenon anytime we experienced a heavy downpour,” he added.

Only a useless country charges GHC 5 billion port duty for 1 car - Obinim laments

Bishop Obinim's Rolls Royce Fly to New York from $945. Book now to get the best price. Leader and founder of The International God’s Way Church, Angel Daniel Obinim says Ghana is a ‘foolish’ country, because no country that has sense will charge an import duty of 5 billion cedis for a car, MyNewsGh.com can report.  Obinim, who bought his Rolls Royce for 300,000 dollars said he was charged a duty of 5 billion cedis.  MyNewsGH.com could not readily verify whether the amount was 500,000 Ghana cedis, which he converted to the old cedis. What we can report is that he kept mentioning ‘5 billion, 5 billion’ as the duty he paid at the port to clear his car.  If the amount is 500,000 cedis, as we are guessing, it would mean that Obinim paid a duty of over 120,000 dollars to the state, which he says is rather outrageous.  According to Angel Obinim, everything in the country is rising in cost and it beats his imagination that he had to be charged 5 billion (old cedis)...

Countryman Songo announces return

Multimedia journalist, Patrick Osei Agyemang, popularly known in media circles as Countryman Songo, is due for a comeback next Monday, adomonline.com can confirm.  Songo who has been off air for some time now has been preparing for his return in the last few days and he has exclusively confirmed that he will be back on the our television screens on Monday.  The award-winning journalist who hosts Ghana’s most-watched mid-day television show, “Fire 4 Fire” on Adom TV has been off air for what Management says is for “strategic reasons”.  Songo, a known critic of sports, particularly football, was off air when the recent scandal hit Ghana football.  Viewers have therefore been yearning for his views on the happenings, especially as he has, in the past, insisted that there is rot in the game that needs the state’s attention. At a recent Presidential Press Meet at the Jubilee House, the tough-talking journalist was on record to have asked the president about his ac...
