1. Zoomlion has had a valid and binding Agreement with Governments since 2006 under the sanitation module. This agreement has not been terminated as being speculated. Under the Agreement, the company is expected to provide waste management and related services to all the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs). Zoomlion has provided dedicated service to this nation in accordance with the terms of the Agreement for which there have been arrears in payment since 2006.

2. Claims for payment for the arrears are being subjected to audit verification as per Government regulation. It is therefore a matter of deep regret that the company should be subjected to PARTISAN VILIFICATION.

 
3. We would want to state further that Zoomlion has for the past ten years been at the forefront of driving impactful waste management delivery to this country. Through this, over two hundred thousand (200,000) jobs have been created in this country. Additionally, the company has attained both national and international recognition for its quality service delivery in the solid waste management and sanitation industry. We have helped in reducing the unemployment rate and curbed serious health conditions in this country including cholera.
 
4. Zoomlion’s operations and excellent performance have won contracts across five different African countries. The company as a good corporate citizen continues to comply with all regulations governing corporate institutions in Ghana and beyond.

5. Zoomlion has initiated numerous and significant social interventions in the area of Waste management, recycling, composting, beach cleaning, afforestation, beautification and other integrated waste management solutions.

6. Zoomlion today is the biggest waste management company providing integrated waste management solutions with operations in all MMDAs in the country. It is a Silver Member of the International Solid Waste Association.

7. As a company, we are committed to providing solutions to the numerous waste and sanitation challenges facing our beloved country and we will not relent in our efforts in keeping Ghana Clean, Green and Healthy.
