Wanluv the Kubolor has lamented that the Upper East regional capital, Bolgatanga would be so much better without plastic waste. 

The award-winning artiste expressed his worry over the continuous dilapidation of the region due to the filth it houses.

According to him, if it were not for the trash due to the rising occurrences of haphazard dumping of plastic waste, the land in the Upper East regional capital the place would have qualified as his heaven.

He said this while speaking in an interview on Bolgatanga-based A1 Radio in an interview.

"The plastic bags lying everywhere. I feel the plastic waste is going to affect millet farming in the region because I see the waste on the ground and after few years, I don’t think we can grow things on this ground if we don’t stop using plastics like the way we do now. If there was no plastic, this will be my heaven.”

“Let’s make it a point that when buying things, we carry them in our hands or have our own bags (to convey whatever we buy). So when buying water or whatever, let’s refuse the plastic bags. If you’re going to buy food, take your own bowl,” he advised

A cleanup exercise had earlier been organised by the staff of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) to help the citizens improve their sanitary conditions.

The routine exercise which was done through the major places in the Bolgatanga Township including both old and new markets, lorry parks, gutters, principal streets among, was part of the Corporate Social Responsibility of the Authority to its clients, the taxpayers.

It was also part of measures instituted by the GRA to contribute to making the environment clean, conducive and instil the habit of good sanitation and hygiene practices and attitudes in the citizenry.
