Mr James Klutse Avedzi, the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), has issued a warning to Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) against renewing contracts with waste management firm Zoomlion due to the absence of clear benefits.
During a PAC hearing in Ho in the Volta Regional capital, the Member of Parliament for Ketu North Constituency emphasised that Parliament had approved the non-renewal of Zoomlion's waste management contracts with MMDAs.
The caution came after the Fanteakwa South Municipal Assembly failed to provide the necessary documentation to renew its contract with Zoomlion.
Additionally, the committee suggested a comprehensive review of the existing agreements with Zoomlion, as many Assemblies lack transparency regarding the terms of their contracts with the waste management company.
