The People\u2019s National Convention (PNC) will on Monday petition the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO), to investigate the alleged unlawful payments government made to waste management Company, Zoomlion Ghana.<\/p>\n
According to the PNC, they have stumbled on some documents which confirms that government had a GHc450 million contract with Zoomlion claiming that about GHc62 million has so far been paid the company illegally for no work done.<\/p>\n
The party is however demanding a thorough investigation into the matter.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”Z3mzEeulGARTQQ28VnW0yw4B4WRj7wiR”]In a Citi News<\/strong> interview the General Secretary of the PNC, Atik Mohammed said the party will pursue the matter vigorously.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is even worse than that of Woyome, Woyome probably attempted doing something in the area of financial engineering but in the case of Zoomlion and the 62 million that has been paid to them and awaiting further payments, no work has been and yet the person has been given this amount of money.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe have enough documentation to indicate monies were fraudulently paid to this entity under some very dubious arrangement. Petitioning EOCO is just the first step, we will go every length that we did in the case of Woyome and even more,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n NPP uncovers fraudulent deal<\/strong><\/p>\n
