Waste Management giant Zoomlion Ghana Limited has mounted an aggressive campaign to redeem its image on the alleged damning Ghana Youth Empowerment and Entrepreneurial Development Authority (GYEEDA) report, being serialised by a section of the media.

According to the company, there was a grand scheme by some unidentified persons in the society to collapse the business, but noted that "our detractors will not succeed."

The acting Director of Communications of Zoomlion, Robert Coleman, in an interview with The Chronicle, refuted claims that (Zoomlion) and a number of its subsidiaries had been cited for wrongdoings in various contracts it had with the GYEEDA.

He said Zoomlion was tasked with the responsibility to rid the cities of Ghana of filth and had never indulged in financial malfeasance allegedly captured in the report of a committee that investigated reported fraud in contracts awarded by GYEEDA to its service providers.

The said GYEEDA report, which had been submitted to President John Dramani Mahama, named Zoomlion as one of the key service providers that grossly disregarded the procurement law, and made unsolicited proposals to GYEEDA for contracts.

President John Mahama, upon receipt of the said report, promised to drastically implement the recommendations in the report.

Mr. Coleman, commenting further on the alleged allegations, said his outfit had not been served with a copy of the said report, and so would not comment extensively until they got a copy.

However, he was of the strong belief that what was being published by a section of the media, especially multimedia, was based on a draft report that may not represent the true situation on the ground.

"All those publications are not true, and when the final report comes out, people will then know what Zoomlion truly stands for," Mr. Coleman noted in a telephone interview with The Chronicle.

He added: "Zoomlion and its subsidiary companies have done nothing wrong in securing contracts from GYEEDA to help solve the unemployment rate, and also save the country from filth and other environmental diseases."

Mr. Coleman was worried about the trend of events, and cautioned media houses and other social commentators spearheading the damaging exercise to be mindful of their comments until the final GYEEDA report was out, or face legal action.

He said the company would remain resolute and work hard to achieve its responsibility in solving the sanitation problems in the country.
