Berekum West MP Dickson Kyere-Duah has voiced strong support for Ghana’s proposed ban on polystyrene products. He specifically encouraged the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to firmly implement the ban despite anticipated resistance. Kyere-Duah believes a ban is crucial for environmental protection and sustainable waste management. He anticipates pressure from polystyrene manufacturers and related industries attempting to halt or delay the regulation. The MP’s statement is a public call for the EPA to prioritize environmental concerns over potential economic pushback. This backing from a Member of Parliament adds political weight to the planned ban, signaling potential broader support within the government. The EPA has not yet commented on the MP’s statement.
