“In Nkawkaw municipality, waste management is an issue as it is in most of our municipalities and districts. We generate a lot and where we dispose of them is even a problem. So we intend to set up a compost industry to turn the waste into biogas and electricity and organic fertilizer. We will treat the urine into fertilizer and all that and we can reuse them for agricultural purposes. We are working with the NGOs for the industry to be established in the course of this year We are expecting them in Nkawkaw this month or next two months” The lawmaker told Mybrytfmonline.com in an interview at Ataaso a community in the Nkawkaw constituency.
The Member of Parliament for Nkawkaw believe the establishment of the plant will not only help the municipality manage its liquid waste properly but also create jobs for the youth.
