IT'S STRANGE THAT KISSI AGYABENG HAS STILL NOT BEEN KICKED OUT BY PRESIDENT MAHAMA.

THIS AGYABENG GUY HAS BEEN DECEIVING GHANAIANS ALL ALONG ABOUT ATTEMPTS TO EXTRADITE OR GET OFORI-ATTA DEPORTED TO GHANA TO FACE CRIMINAL JUSTICE.

AKUFO-ADDO AND OFORI-ATTA ARE NOT GOD, AND THEY ARE NOT ABOVE THE CRIMINAL LAWS OF GHANA. MAHAMA MUST EXPUNGE THE DAMN INDEMNITY CLAUSE FROM GHANA'S DAMN CONSTITUTION. WE ARE WATCHING AND WAITING! GHANA BELONGS TO ALL GHANAIANS.

OFORI-ATTA'S CRIMES AGAINST GHANA JUST HAVE TO BE OFFICIALLY REPORTED TO TRUMP, CASE CLOSED! TRUMP DOESN'T WANT INTERNATIONAL CRIMINALS LIKE OFORI-ATTA IN THE US.

OFORI-ATTA AND AKUFO-ADDO'S GLOBAL ASSETS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FROZEN AND CONFISCATED TO GHANA BY NOW. WHAT ARE OSP AND ORAL WAITING FOR?

It’s all politics bro..the dirty politics is so annoying..before u know, such a big contract will be given to a foreigner for them to be reaping the benefits..Charlie this Ndc/npp, these two parties are a curse to our beautiful country..Ndc will rather give a contract to a foreigner just because zoomlion is a pro Npp..we don’t govern a contest like that..if Ndc had good intentions, they would have set rules and regulations for zoomlion to follow..I hope this contract will not be given to any foreign company..Qhen is the Ghanaian ever going to understand that not every person can be in the same party..we all cannot be in the same party..that’s why we have freedom of association or freedom of speech in the constitution..ahh we are tired of talking koraa..chai

Me, I am proud I never voted for any of these two parties. Different colors, same value; until we redefine our values as nation, we will not accelerate development the way we want it and compare to the west. Where did honesty go? where did Integrity go? where did respect go? why do we see black and say it is white? bribery at all levels, Ghana is sunk so low the solution is not whitewashing but calling a spade a spade and holding people accountable without colors....ya bre

Credit to an idiot for destroying an indigenous Ghanaian company? Are u happy that an indigenous Ghanaian company is being destroyed because he belongs to a different party? Whiles zoomlion is getting contracts in different African countries, Ndc is trying to destroy him because of politics..probably u don’t know anything about how to start business so u have no idea how difficult it is to start and maintain a business..I was thinking Ndc would have set new rules and regulations for zoomlion instead of destroying him..

It's think some of you think through your butt. It's an indigenous company so it must be allowed to do whatever it wants? The company has a Monopoly since 2006. It's practices have been proven by Manasseh Azure to be corrupt. Is there contrary evidence that Mansseh was wrong? This is not about your feelings. It's simple facts and logic. Despite its monopoly, look at how dirty Accra is.

Moron! If you were clever, you'd wait to find out which companies get the contract. Stop running your mouth about foreign contracts where there isn't one.

Siaw Agyapong is a criminal. The COVID-19 Mass Spraying of markets and other public spaces contract should be thoroughly investigated.

Zoomlion robbed Ghana of millions of dollars in 2014.

In 2014, this same Zoomlion charged the government of Ghana $100 per bin to provide bins to every household. They only posted stickers on our gates but never delivered the bins till date. Mahama was then the president. I guess he has seen the thievery in Zoomlion, hence the decision not to renew their contract.

How a government sign a contract without ENFORCEMENT OF THE LEGAL MINIMUM WAGE for the workers?
And I guess there's no Force Majeure clause to invoke by the government for default by Zoom Lion.
To think of the interest clause for only 3 months delay?
A very wicked, stinking, create, loot & share agreement if you ask me.
ENEMIES OF THE STATE of Ghana.
19 solid years of draining our coffers yet Ghana is the MOST FILTHY since this contract.
