A draft legal framework to ban plastic bags in Western Province is being reviewed by legal experts, with its Premier reveling you could “go to prison” for using plastic bags in the province.
Western Province premier Wayne Maepio told SIBC Online that if approved, it would help the provincial government address the extensive use of plastic bags in the province.
Plans to ban plastic bags to protect the environment in Western Province were announced earlier this year. Premier Maepio said his government was committed to implementing the ban.
