Paga: Kacstone Records, a cultural and music development company, has donated six waste bins to the Paga Market Traders Association to support sanitation efforts and promote environmental cleanliness in the Kassena-Nankana West District. Mr. Raymond Adda, a Member of the Paga Youth Movement, made the donation on behalf of Mr. Wenawome Duriyem Aborah and Mr. Michael Adangba, the Managing Directors of the company, as part of the organisation's commitment to supporting local initiatives aimed at maintaining a clean and healthy environment.
According to Ghana News Agency, the gesture followed the team's observation of the monthly national clean-up exercise in the district, where market women and other stakeholders actively participated in cleaning their surroundings. Presenting the items, Mr. Adda noted that the donation was inspired by the dedication of the traders towards sanitation and their consistent involvement in the National Sanitation Day activities.
Mr. Adda explained that the provision of the waste bins was to help improve waste management practices in the market and reduce indiscriminate dumping of refuse. He further urged traders and residents to make good use of the bins and adopt proper waste disposal habits to sustain the gains made through the clean-up exercises.
Ms. Samitu Kumuriwo, the Spokesperson of the Paga Market Traders Association, expressed gratitude to Kacstone Records for the timely intervention. She said the lack of adequate waste bins had been a major challenge for traders, particularly on busy market days, and described the donation as a relief that would enhance sanitation in the market.
She also reaffirmed the commitment of the traders to maintaining a clean and hygienic market environment and called on other organisations to emulate the gesture. The donation forms part of broader efforts by private sector actors to complement government initiatives in promoting environmental sanitation and public health in local communities.
