The
Ashanti regional office of Zoomlion Ghana says it is ready to emerge as an autonomous
entity within the organizational set up of the foremost Ghanaian waste management
company.
Regional
Manager, Stephen Gyekye-Darko says after five years of operations, the region
is poised to run its activities independent of regulation from the company’s head
office in Accra.
The
objective, he said, is to strengthen the regional operations for effective
waste management, whilst the head office assumes a supervisory role in coordination
of activities.
According
to him, challenges in taking delivery of logistics and other decision making
processes would be addressed when the region becomes autonomous.
Zoomlion
currently engages about seven thousand contract staff and over 300 core
employees.
Mr.
Gyekye-Darko has identified poor public attitude towards environmental sanitation
as major obstacle in efforts to keep the environment clean and green.
He
announced the formation of Zoom Kids Clubs in the various schools this year
with the aim of targeting the children as agents of change.
He
however noted public education on sanitation will not yield the desired impact
if not backed by law enforcement.
