Lower Middle Income Ghana is Swimming in Solid and Liquid Waste, Forcing President John Mahama and His Vice to Descend and Desilt Gutters Themselves
The tonne of filth that is killing people in this country is actually a goldmine that other countries are cashing in on. Speaking on, JoyNews MultiTV's flagship program, Clean Communities, Ben Arthur, Executive Secretary of Coalition of NGOs in Water and Sanitation, CONIWAS, insisted that sanitation is a good business that people should invest in.
He cited the water and sanitation program of the World Bank that indicates that for every dollar invested in sanitation it gives you at least 3 to 8 dollars returns.
Mr. Arthur reiterated, "No portfolio on the Ghana stock exchange gives such returns; sanitation is a good business to invest in."
Even though enough evidence has been adduced about its profitability, regrettably, the product involved and how it is marketed leaves much to be desired. This could probably be the reason why unemployed graduates do not see it to be a prospective business.
