A bill to amend the Anambra State Waste Management Authority law 2015 has passed through first reading at plenary in the state House of Assembly.
Deputy majority leader Hon. Emeka Aforka moved a motion for the amendment of the law and was seconded by the chief whip and member representating Njikoka 2 constituency, Hon. Pete Ibida.
Recall that the illegal waste management fee imposed on the people of Anambra by the State Waste Management Authority was suspended with immediate effect and the Managing Director invited to appear at plenary recently after a motion of urgent public importance was moved by the member representing Nnewi North constituency, Hon. Nonso Smart Okafor.
The house noted that an existing law tagged ‘Anambra Waste Management Law 2015’ stipulates various fees payable by various groups for waste management.
