Jekora Ventures Clears Waste at Adenta SSNIT Flats

Waste Management Company, Jekora Ventures, has cleared piled up refuse at the Adenta SSNIT Flats in the Adenta Municipality in the Greater Accra Region following news reports of the company's inability to address the sanitation menace and that it is sleeping on the job.

The company in this regard has debunked media reports and explained that collection of refuse at its demarcated zones in the metropolis has always been duly carried out by its committed employees and that the issues were a result of challenges in the waste management sector.

Challenges in Waste Collection

According to the Managing Director of Jekora Ventures, Mr. Immanuel Nartey-Tokoli, the company has demonstrated commitment in the collection of waste as well as the dumping of refuse at disposal sites. He added that the sites are quite far away from the collection points and the long hours it takes tractors to dispose of the waste creates challenges.

The Managing Director said the levies paid by clients are inadequate and urged government to review the current levies by engaging players in the waste management value chain on modalities of payment. He assured however that the company will continue to deliver effective and efficient waste collection services and again appealed to government to have periodic engagement with the respective waste collection companies to discuss and deliberate on emerging issues confronting the waste management sector.
