Sekondi, January.10, GNA – Mr. Donkris Mevuta, Executive Director of Friends of the Nation (FoN), an environmental NGO, on Tuesday commended the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly (STMA) for relocating the liquid waste disposal site at Essipong to the Sofokrom landfill site.
Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Sekondi, he urged the STMA to ensure the effective decommissioning of the old liquid waste site.
Mr. Mevuta said people could continue disposing liquid waste at the old site if it was not decommissioned and this could cause problems.
He said the assembly could plant trees at the site for the vegetation there to regenerate.
Mr. Mevuta asked the assembly to consider giving compensation to people living near the old site for suffering many years of human rights abuse.
