Faso MĂŞbo (meaning “Build the Country”) initiative in Burkina Faso, if you get caught dumping anything in the gutters, on the ground and not in the proper place, like in a dumpster or trash bin, you are going to get fined and/or jailed.
Niger has outlawed plastic bottles, plastic bags in the country and Burkina Faso and Mali are in the works also of banning plastic bags and plastic bottles in the the near future.Rwanda has shown us it can be done. Ghana needs to follow this model.

@KwabenaOsei I’m yet to see details of the community bill to know if it’s inclusive, but I’ve heard one community implement a reward of 100GHS to 200GHS for those who’ll report offenders and a fine(not mentioned) for the culprits.

@KwabenaOsei I hope our leadership is able to stand to implement this as a national policy

@KwabenaOsei The politriks involved in that is so heavy that it might/will take a long time and a new/different leadership to be able to do that.

Yes. There are many politicians who are getting paid off nicely by western countries to let these dirty second hand clothes keep coming in into Ghana.
That is why Ghana is the number onebheadquarters for western second hand clothes. Too many corrupt politicians are feeding off it.

Ghana need to be end the colonial agreement with western countries of sending their dirty second hand clothes to Ghana. Ghana is the number one importer of second hand clothes. These second hand clothes are clogging up gutters and drainage channels.
Ghana needs to solve the import of second hand clothes problem first.
“The improper disposal of solid waste—particularly plastic bottles, clothing, refuse, and silt—often clogs urban gutters and major drainage channels. When these drains are blocked, rainwater cannot flow away, backing up into streets and residential communities.”
Until Ghana solves the number one problem of importing in second hand clothes, flooding is still going to be a problem in Ghana.
