He explained on Point of View on Citi TV that the first phase of the ban will be implemented this year while the second phase will come into force when other arrangements are completed by February next year.

Seidu, who moved from Walewale to Madina in search of greener pastures, has explained that there is no landfill site he can dump his rubbish aside from Kpone and he surely has to use the Accra-Tema Motorway on his way there.

"If they don't want us to use the motorway, it means they want us to stop working because this is the only way we can use and we cannot carry the rubbish to our homes," he said in an interview with TV3.

He further explained that his situation is the same for his other colleagues who work around Madina, Ashale Botwe, and its environs.
