Soon, households across the country will each have three separate bins to sort out their waste. That is the indication of the minister-designate for Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Dapaah.

I have no problems with his person, I know that he’s a Member of Parliament but I have here, a letter dated 21st January, 2021, signed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
