The Bono East Regional Minister, Honorable Adu Gyan, has commissioned the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) in a ceremony attended by Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs). This initiative marks a significant milestone in the region's efforts to revolutionize road infrastructure and improve mobility. Honorable Adu Gyan emphasized the importance of proper maintenance and utilization of the equipment, urging MMDCEs to take good care of them to achieve their intended purpose.
"We have made a significant investment in these machines, and it is our collective responsibility to ensure they serve their intended purpose," he said. George Manu, Regional Manager for Zoomlion, noted that JA Plantpool, a subsidiary of Jospong Group, in partnership with the government through the MMDAs, is training Ghanaian youth in the servicing and maintenance of the equipment and ensuring technology transfer. He added that "two Chinese engineers would be in the region to ensure a successful technology transfer."
He announced that to safeguard the sustainability and success of the project, Jospong Group will take up the fueling and maintenance of the equipment to ensure that they are always available and ready for service delivery on the roads.
