The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), Mr. Gilbert Ankrah, has assured residents of the capital that the assembly is committed to ensuring waste is collected consistently in all areas under its jurisdiction.
Mr. Ankrah, who gave this assurance during an interview with Accra-based Citi FM on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, emphasised that waste collection remains a top priority for AMA.
According to him, refuse in areas such as Circle, which fall under the assembly’s jurisdiction, is cleared daily. Noting that even in the absence of a fully appointed mayor, operations have continued smoothly and without disruption.
“If you come to Circle, waste is being cleared in the places that fall under AMA, and the waste is being cleared daily.
Beginning this year, we have put measures in place to ensure that the refuse of Accra is collected every day,” he told the host.
The AMA PRO maintained that the assembly will not allow these challenges to affect the efficiency of its waste management services, which have been expanded to cover more areas and operate at greater frequencies.
