An ex Presiding Member for Kwadaso Municipal Assembly Kwame Kwakye is advocating for cost increment of sachet plus bottled water to help reduce poor sterilization caused by empties of sachet and bottled water in the country.
Ghana is gradually losing the particular fight against sanitation despite initiatives by previous and present governments as a result of the indiscriminate dumping of plastic waste materials in major cities across the nation
Speaking on TIME WITH SET UP MEMBERS show hosted simply by Osei Kwadwo on AMBASSADOR TV on YouTube and supervised MyNewsGh. com, Kwame Kwakye explained that increasing the cost of sachet and bottled water can help reduce poor sanitation within Ghana.
According to him “We all know that bottled plus sachet water have become the main cause of poor sanitation within Ghana and I believe using the increment of the prices, it can help the sanitation fight agenda”.
“Sachet water which is thirty pesewas should be increased in order to 50 pesewas and water in bottles which is Ghc1. 20 needs to be Ghc1. 50 pesewas then when you buy and return the particular sachet or the bottle, the extra price will be given back for you, ” he said.
“Sanitation Ministry should work with mount to set up offices so the individual who will return his/her sachet or bottle after purchasing the water can get his/her returns” Kwame Kwakye explained.
He or she added, “this policy can prevent people from throwing out sachets and bottles right after buying water and it will reduce sanitation situation in the country”.
“It will also create work in the country to reduce high joblessness rate because people will likely go to communities to buy people’s sachets and bottles, pay out them and bring it towards the assembly for their money”
