Kakata City Mayor call for assistance
Mayor Gbarngawoe E. Seyboe has issued an urgent call for support from philanthropists and humanitarian organizations to assist in acquiring a waste truck or pickup for the city.
Speaking on the Classic Breakfast Show on May 7, he highlighted that waste management has become a critical issue for the municipality.
Mayor Seyboe revealed that the city spends over $12,000 daily on waste management, primarily due to the high costs charged by local commercial drivers—around $4,000 per trip to the Kakata dumpsite.
He emphasized that this financial burden could severely impact the city's budget, as most of the funds received from local markets and fines are being allocated to waste disposal.
The Mayor expressed concern over the lack of local companies willing to assist and pointed out that support from lawmakers has been minimal.
He acknowledged the government’s efforts to provide some funding but stressed the need for more sustainable solutions to help with ongoing development.
He concluded by expressing gratitude toward the Government of Liberia for recognizing the city in the budget, marking it as a significant step forward for the city corporation.Kakata
