Zoomlion Ghana Limited, ZGL, the reputable fumigation giant in West African, in partnership with the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources, MSWR, has donated three pick-ups to the Ministry of Interior.
This gesture is to enable police personnel to monitor, move freely and enforce the environmental bye-laws in the capital, Accra, and other regional capitals in the country.
PRESENTATION
Making the presentation at the premises of the Ministry of Interior in Accra on Thursday, the Sanitation and Water Resources Minister, Mrs Cecilia Abena Dapaah, explained that the donation was in line with her outfit’s goal of ensuring that every corner of the country was clean.
According to her, a lot of processes were involved in ensuring effective sanitation, adding that one of them was making available vehicles to institutions like the police who were supporting their efforts.
PARTNERSHIP
She described the partnership between her ministry and Zoomlion as very good, stressing that the initiative taken by these two bodies to ensure the country was rid of filth was yielding positive results.
She said a similar donation had already been made to the ministry of defence which had seen the deployment of military personnel to help in ensuring a clean environment
In this vein, Mrs Dapaah praised Zoomlion and the Ghana Police Service for their efforts so far in ensuring that good sanitation practices were adhered to by the citizenry.

He gave the assurance that the vehicles would be used effectively by the police for the purpose for which they were donated.
He used the occasion to praise Zoomlion for its collaboration with the military and police in helping to fight the COVID-19 epidemic in the country.
