环境传播专家Dr Akwesi Bosompem Boateng呼吁加大对废物管理的投资，特别是全国260个区的废物收集设备、物流和工程垃圾填埋场，以应对该国日益恶化的环境卫生挑战。\n\n他表示，由于多年来投资不足，该国的废物管理系统依然脆弱，并强调6月29日的洪水暴露出亟需采取紧急和持续行动的关键漏洞。\n\nDr Boateng昨日在阿克拉接受The Ghanaian Times独家采访时表示，洪水过后组织的全国家庭清洁行动值得称赞，但不应被视为解决该国多年来洪水问题的持久方案。\n\n相反，他指出政府必须优先实施长期干预措施，包括增加对废物管理基础设施的投资、严格执行环境卫生法规、招募更多废物收集人员以及恢复以社区为基础的环境卫生项目。\n\n通过WhatsApp和LinkedIn关注最新头条新闻\n\n他强调：“我们废物管理部门的弱点并不遥远。最近的洪水暴露了这些弱点，我们需要给予紧急关注。”\n\nDr Boateng也是温尼巴教育大学传播与媒体研究学院的高级讲师。他表示，有效的废物收集、定期疏浚排水沟、遵守规划法规以及持续的公众教育，对于建设抗洪社区至关重要。\n\n他将大范围的洪水归咎于乱扔垃圾、侵占水道和湿地、实体规划薄弱以及多年来阻碍雨水自然流动的违章建筑。

原文原文 / Original Text

An environmental communication expert, Dr Akwesi Bosompem Boateng, has called for increased investment in waste management, particularly in waste collection equipment, logistics and engineered landfill sites across all 260 districts, to address the country's worsening sanitation challenges.

He said the country's waste management system remained weak due to years of inadequate investment, stressing that the June 29 floods had exposed critical gaps that required urgent and sustained action.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with The Ghanaian Times in Accra yesterday, Dr Boateng said the recent nationwide clean-up exercise organised after the floods was commendable but should not be viewed as a lasting solution to the country's perennial flooding problem.

Rather, he said government must prioritise long-term interventions, including increased investment in waste management infrastructure, strict enforcement of sanitation bye-laws, recruitment of more waste collection personnel and the revival of community-based sanitation programmes.

"The weaknesses in our waste management sector are not far-fetched. The recent floods exposed those weaknesses and we need to pay urgent attention to them," he stressed.

Dr Boateng, who is also a senior lecturer at the School of Communication and Media Studies of the University of Education, Winneba, said effective waste collection, regular desilting of drains, compliance with planning regulations and sustained public education were critical to building flood-resilient communities.

He attributed the widespread flooding to indiscriminate waste disposal, encroachment on waterways and wetlands, weak physical planning and unauthorised construction, which had obstructed the natural flow of storm water over the years.
