The management of Zoomlion Ghana Limited has provided clarification regarding the remuneration of beneficiaries and workers delivering sanitation services under the company’s program across the country.

In a press statement dated April 30, 2025, Zoomlion Ghana Limited provided details indicating that, under its contractual agreement with the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), each beneficiary is entitled to a stipend of GH¢850.

Of this amount, GH¢258 is paid directly to the beneficiaries as an allowance, while the remaining GH¢592 is allocated to Zoomlion as a management fee.

According to the company, this fee covers the cost of uniforms and other essential equipment required for the beneficiaries to carry out their sanitation duties.

“The contract provides for a total sum of GH¢850 per beneficiary, of which GH¢ 258 is allocated to the Beneficiary as an allowance, while the remaining GH¢592 constitutes a management Fee to Zoomlion.

This management Fee covers brooms, bristle brushes, shovels, wheelbarrows, pickers, reflective road cones, hand gloves, uniforms, reflective jackets, wellington boots, and head pans and funds the management duties stated above,” parts of the statement read.

The management, in its statement, further clarified that the recruitment of workers and beneficiaries under the initiative is the sole responsibility of the YEA, not the company.

The company further stated that once beneficiaries are recruited by the YEA, their names are submitted to Zoomlion, which then fulfills its obligations in accordance with the contractual agreement.

“Clause 1.5 of the contract states that YEA is responsible for the recruitment of Beneficiaries whose names shall be submitted to Zoomlion Ghana Limited, and by reason of such submission, Zoomlion shall perform its obligations therein stated. The database of the Beneficiaries is managed by YEA, which assigns a unique identification number to every Beneficiary, and the same is indicated on their appointment letters.

“All additions or removals of beneficiaries are effected by the YEA through formal correspondence and established administrative procedures. Accordingly, Zoomlion has no interference in the recruitment of the Beneficiaries,” it added.

The statement went on to say that, “Zoomlion has always operated under a strict compliance framework, and as such, the company will warmly welcome any exercise geared towards strengthening the efficiency and effectiveness of our systems.”

The statement concluded by reaffirming Zoomlion’s commitment to creating employment opportunities for the general public through its sanitation module.
