Zoomlion Ghana Limited has assured workers engaged under the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) Fumigation Project that outstanding salary arrears will be paid once funds are released.

The assurance follows concerns raised by some workers over delays in receiving their payments.

In a statement issued on Monday, August 3, 2026, the company said the delay was due to the non-release of funds under the MMDA Fumigation Project.

"Management wishes to assure all affected workers that the company fully appreciates the challenges associated with the delay and remains committed to ensuring that every legitimate outstanding payment is made as soon as the necessary funds are received," the statement said.

Zoomlion explained that it has been engaging the government and the various Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies to facilitate the release of funds owed under the contract.

According to the company, it has received assurances that the necessary processes are being completed to enable the disbursement of the outstanding payments.

It stated that all arrears owed to workers under the project would be settled after the funds are received.

The company acknowledged the difficulties caused by the delay and expressed appreciation to workers for their continued support in carrying out fumigation and sanitation activities across the country.

Zoomlion also said it respects the right of workers to express their concerns peacefully and urged affected workers to remain calm while engagements with relevant stakeholders continue.

The MMDA Fumigation Project involves workers engaged in vector control and environmental sanitation activities in communities across Ghana.
