he Australian High Commissioner to Ghana, Mr Gregory Andrews, has said the practice of dumping waste at unauthorised places across the capital city is disrespectful to the country, its laws and environment.
The ambassador also bemoaned the dumping of refuse at unauthorised places in the capital city despite the presence of signages directing persons not to dump refuse at particular spots.
In a Facebook post on Saturday, 6 February 2020, Mr Andrews noted: “After mountain-biking through the lovely natural bushland behind the University of Ghana today, I was so saddened to come across all of this rubbish that had been dumped just off the Legon bypass road and right in front of no-dumping signs.”
He also expressed disappointment with the practice.
“I know Ghanaians love their country and I do, too”.
“I am a very grateful guest here”.
“Maybe that’s why it was so disappointing for me”.
“Dumping waste is clearly disrespecting Ghana, its laws and its environment”, the Australian High Commissioner added.
