Tricycle operators are staging a demonstration to protest the poor conditions at the Oti Landfill site, demanding urgent government intervention to restore waste disposal operations.
The operators say they have been unable to offload refuse for several days due to ongoing challenges at the facility, including the breakdown of essential equipment used for waste management.
According to reports, the situation has caused a significant accumulation of refuse, with heaps of waste now lining the Kaase-Kuwait stretch leading to the landfill site.
Several tricycle operators have been stranded as they attempt to dispose of collected waste but are unable to do so, worsening the sanitation situation in the area.
Residents and commuters have expressed concern over the growing piles of refuse and the potential environmental and health risks posed by the situation.
The operators are calling on the relevant authorities to address the challenges immediately to restore normal waste disposal services and prevent further deterioration of sanitation conditions in Kumasi and surrounding communities.
