The Kwabenya landfill site project would begin this year and completed by June 2009, Mr Stanley Adjiri Blankson, Accra Metropolitan Chief Executive said on Friday. He said valuations for compensation had been done adding, applications were being processed for compensation and pictures of about 80 houses to be demolished. Signing a 30-million dollar contract to start construction of Schools, Sanitation facilities and other projects including the landfill in Accra, Mr Blankson said a consultant was about to review designs of various building to be demolished in order to pave way for the construction. The project is jointly funded by the World Bank, Agence Francaise de Developpment (AFD), the Nordic Development Fund and the Government of Ghana. The Kwabenya landfill site project had been on hold for the past five years after protests by residents. Mr Blanskon said the assembly would be holding various meetings with legitimate landlords before the commencement of the project. He said the assembly would also take precautionary measures to ensure that people did not build in the night to escalate the compensation. The Mayor said the city was saddled with garbage collection problems, adding that it could not be held ransom by some people. "AMA was going to commence and complete the project at Kwabenya once and for all," he added.Source: GNA
