\u201cWe are privileged to be a part of the clean Ghana agenda. In this year\u2019s state of the nation address given by our dear president Nana Akufo-Addo, he outlined the need for us to resource our sub-metros so that they will deliver on their mandate to keep the city clean, and in support of that we want to stand behind our hardworking mayor to donate 10 pickups, 20 motorized tricycles and other cleaning logistics to the tune of 1.5 million Ghana cedis in support of the clean Ghana agenda\u201d Mrs. Florence Larbi said.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Larbi expressed the hope that the donation will boost supervision of\u00a0 sanitation activities in the capital. She stressed that management of Zoomlion is ever ready to provide effective private sector support to the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, and the larger government in any form that will help government achieve its target and also to drive the country towards achieving the Sustainable development goal on sanitation.<\/p>\n
On his part, the Chief Executive Officer of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, Mohammed Nii Adjei Sowah, was very excited about the benevolence of Zoomlion Ghana Ltd towards the Accra Metropolitan assembly, and their desire to see the president\u2019s vision of making Accra the cleanest city materialize.<\/p>\n The AMA boss said, \u201cit is established that your company is a leading company in waste management in the whole of this country. The Accra Metropolitan Assembly has a long standing relationship with Zoomlion company. When we started our polluter phase system, we gave out some sub metro to the Zoomlion company, such as the Ayawaso West Wuogon and some other areas which we are working at, however the president\u2019s call that Accra should be the cleanest city by the end of his tenure, is an enormous task given to us. We are fully aware of the challenge and we are working assiduously towards achieving the president\u2019s objective. \u201d<\/p>\n “For the AMA, activities are already in place to achieve this vision, and they have adopted a 3-point approach which includes education, enforcement of by-laws and the provision of infrastructure and logistics to support the project. These pickups and other logistics have come in handy. These pickups as donated will help us to enforce our by-laws in our respective sub-metros,\u201d said Mr. \u00a0Sowah.<\/p>\n According to the AMA Chief Executive, the motorcycles from Zoomlion will help the AMA in clearing small heaps of refuse in gutters and in residential areas.<\/p>\n He took the opportunity to outline some plans and policies of the AMA in dealing with the use of motorcycles to boost the collection of waste.<\/p>\n The management of Zoomlion Ghana reiterated their commitment to help the country achieve SDG goals on sanitation and the president\u2019s vision for 2020.<\/p>\n The company has for many years undertaken several interventions to improve sanitation in the country.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Waste management firm, Zoomlion Ghana Limited, has donated 10 brand new Nissan pickup trucks and a huge number of motor cycles worth over GHc1.5 million to the Accra metropolitan Assembly.
