Zoomlion Ghana Limited, a waste management business, claims to have sent over 400 employees to guarantee that the Central Region, which hosted the 65th Independence Anniversary Parade, is clean.
According to the company, its employees began work from Kasoa to Cape Coast, painting road kerbs, cleaning the environment, and putting flags on the key roadways from Kasoa to the Cape Coast stretch.
Speaking to journalists during the Independence Day parade in Cape Coast last Sunday, March 6, 2022, the Public Jobs Manager of Zoomlion in the Central Region, Robert Kingsley Ayemi, said his team, which began work before the March 6 celebrations, will continue to work even after the event to ensure that the Cape Coast Sports Stadium, the event’s venue, and its surrounding communities were always clean.
“We deployed over 400 YEA personnel on every street in the region right down from Kasoa. Even after the clean-up exercise, we were painting kerbs along the road, hoisted flags from Kasoa through to Winneba, Mfantsiman, Yamoransah and then to Cape Coast,” he said.
Mr Ayemi stated that prior to the event, the national committee entrusted with ensuring the event’s success charged his organization with making sure the venue and the whole region were clean, adding that the 65th Independence Day celebration was held in a clean environment.
“Before the start of the event, the national committee met with Zoomlion to handle waste management issues at the venue and the region. We initially began with series of clean-up exercises at the Central Regional capital, Cape Coast, where our personnel were mandated to pick every litter on the floor, and this is how we achieved success during the event,” he explained.
Mr Ayemi stated that Zoomlion will collaborate with the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly to keep the venue clean even after the event.
