Mr Solomon Ofei Darko, Chief Executive of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) on Thursday tasked departments working on the waste disposal site at Kwabenya to provide details of the project for it to take off.

He said, the AMA was committed to carrying out the project as early as possible because it has been in the pipe line for six years, adding that, "landowners at Mallam, the current dumping site, have given the AMA two weeks to vacate".

Mr Darko gave the directive at a meeting at Amasaman with District Departmental Heads and Technicians.

He said the Oblogo site, in the Ga District would be used as a temporary measure while work proceeded at Kwabenya.

Mr Darko said the British Development for International Projects, (BDIP) would sponsor the project, which would cost over 40 billion cedis on 194 hectares of land.

He said the project, which would take off in March next year would be completed in November the same year.

The project when completed would serve the AMA and the Ga District.
