Zoomlion Ghana Ltd has donated 170 motorbikes to the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development for distribution to Environmental Sanitation officers in the various districts in the country.
This is part of the company’s attempt to help the facilitation of monitoring and supervision of Sanitation Guards programme.
Speaking at the handing over of the equipment, General Manager of Zoomlion, Beatrice Amponsah noted that the presentation marked another milestone in the collaborative steps to enhance environmental sanitation in Ghana.
She said Zoomlion as a company believes in Public Private Partnership, which is an effective tool for a sustainable national growth.
She promised that the company’s doors are open to students from the Schools of Hygiene who would like to come on Practical Attachment at Zoomlion whenever the need arises.
“We have had some training with environmental Health Officers on waste management, modern recycling and other sanitation related issues, just to deepen our relationship”, Mrs. Amponsah disclosed.
She expressed the belief that the presentation of the motorbikes would enhance effective supervision, monitoring of sanitation in the various assemblies, hygiene education and the collection of environmental data.
She asked of the ministry to ensure an effective use of the bikes as well as maintenance in order to make them have a long life span.
Chief Director of the Ministry for Local Government and Rural Development,, Daniel Nyankamawu thanked Zoomlion for their continuous assistance to government in the sanitation sector.
He said the donation has come at an opportune time since government was in the process of procuring motorbikes for the sanitation workers.
“The donation therefore comes as good complementary for government’s efforts”, Mr. Nyankamawu noted
