A high-powered delegation from Mombasa, Kenya, led by Governor H.E. Abdullswamad Sherrif Nassir, has visited Zoomlion Ghana Limited and other subsidiaries of the Jospong Group of Companies (JGC) to study the company’s innovative waste management model.

The 26-member delegation, including members of Parliament (MPs), technical staff members, and administrative personnel, aimed to explore potential areas of collaboration and emulate the Jospong Group’s sanitation module in Kenya.

The visit follows a working trip by the Executive Chairman of JGC, Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, to Kenya in July this year, aimed at promoting a Pan-Africa solution to the sanitation challenges, by turning it into opportunities for growth.

Their visit was to discuss and observe at first-hand how the Jospong Group uses green technologies and state-of-the-art facilities to solve challenges within the environmental sanitation space.

The team, after several discussions and touring these eco-friendly facilities, was overwhelmed with the depth of knowledge and expertise exhibited by the Jospong staff.

They saw Jospong Group’s solution as one that brings social, environmental, and economic empowerment to the youth.

During their four-day (July 29 – August 1, 2025), visit to Ghana, the delegation toured various facilities of the JGC, including Sewerage Systems Ghana Limited (SSGL), Zoomlion Transfer Station in Pantang, Accra Compost and Recycling Plant (ACARP), Kpone Landfill Site, Universal Plastic Product and Recycling Plant (UPPR), in Accra and Kumasi Compost and Recycling Plant (KCARP), Medical Waste Treatment Facility, and Kumasi Waste Water Treatment Plant in the Ashanti Region.

The delegation was impressed by the company’s waste management module, which turns waste into a resource and opportunity.

They commended the Jospong Group for taking the lead in waste management in Africa and creating opportunities for the youth.

The Governor of Mombasa, H.E. Abdullswamad Sherrif Nassir, outlined the county’s waste management strategy, which includes dividing Mombasa into 600 units and employing young people to collect waste.

According to him, the collected waste will be taken to a transfer station and then to a material recovery facility, eliminating the need for landfills that cause environmental degradation.

“In the past, people were disposing of waste haphazardly due to the lack of a formal collection system,” Governor Nassir said.

“To address this, we’re dividing Mombasa into 600 units and employing young people to collect waste. We’ll pay them a salary to prevent cartels from forming.”

The Governor expressed gratitude to the Executive Chairman of Jospong Group of Companies, Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, for his support and participation in the upcoming devolution conference.

The Executive Chairman, Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, in his statement, emphasised the importance of collaborative partnerships and supporting local talent.

“We’re committed to making this project a success, and we’ll work closely with you as partners,” he said.
“We believe in collaborative partnerships, supporting local talent, and creating employment opportunities.”

He added that Jospong Group’s team will work with Mombasa County to complete feasibility studies and ensure timely delivery. “We’ll send a team to discuss details with stakeholders and before work begins,” he said.
“By the time we finish, locals will be equipped to operate the plant, and we’ll establish a training regime for knowledge transfer.”

The partnership between Mombasa County and Jospong Group aims to promote sustainable waste management practices and create employment opportunities for the local population.

Mohamed Faki Mwinyihaj, Senator and member of the delegation, echoed this sentiment, saying, “The Jospong Group’s waste management module is a model that we can learn from and replicate in Kenya. The level of job creation and environmental protection is impressive.”

Chairperson of Mombasa County Public Service Board, Farida Abdallah, was particularly impressed with the level of job creation the transfer station has provided for the youth.

“This is a model that we can replicate in Kenya to create jobs and promote environmental protection,” she said.
Other members of Parliament Likoni, Mvita, Kisauni, Changamwe, Mishi Kuma Mboko, Constituencies, also expressed similar sentiments emphasising their government’s commitment to job creation and environmental protection.

“The Jospong Group’s waste management module aligns with our government’s priorities, and we are excited about the potential for collaboration,” they said.

The Minister for Blue Economy, Agriculture, and Livestock in Mombasa County also expressed support for efforts to emulate the Jospong Group’s sanitation module in Kenya.

“We believe that this model can be adapted to our context and help us address our waste management challenges,” she said. The Officer in charge of Water and Sanitation in the County of Mombasa noted that the Jospong Waste Module turns waste into a resource and opportunity, a feat worth emulating.

“This is a game-changer for waste management in Kenya, and we are excited about the potential for collaboration,” he said.

Earlier during the tour, H.E. Sherrif Nassir, together with all his MPs, technical and administrative staff members, paid a working visit to the KCARP, a subsidiary of the Jospong Group and the biggest compost and recycling plant in Africa.

They also visited the Kumasi Waste Water Treatment plant and the ultra-modern medical waste treatment plant.

The Governor mentioned how sanitation challenges such as solid waste, sewerage, and medical waste have bedevilled the county of Mombasa, hence their readiness to allow Jospong Group to replicate their blueprint solutions to the sanitation sector to provide a sustainable environment for all.

The visit aims to foster knowledge sharing and collaboration between Ghana and Kenya to promote sustainable waste management practices.

The potential collaboration could lead to new partnerships and opportunities for growth in the waste management sector.

Earlier in July, there was a working visit by officials from the office of Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, as well as the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), to explore sustainable waste management partnerships in Kenya.
