In spite of efforts by city authorities to control the indiscriminate disposal of waste in the metropolis, the Ashanti Regional capital, Kumasi, is still reeling from the menace of waste. Sanitation continues to be the major bill on most assemblies’ budget in the various district, municipal and metropolitan assemblies in the country and Kumasi is no exception. The assembly spends close to half a million cedis on a monthly basis in managing waste and other sanitation-related matters. Indiscriminate waste As part of measures to manage the indiscriminate waste disposal in the metropolis, the assembly in 2017 launched a programme dubbed Keep Kumasi Green and Clean (KKGC) campaign, where the assembly installed waste bins at various locations within the city to enable patrons to dispose of their waste conveniently.
