Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has formally petitioned President John Dramani Mahama to discontinue the long-standing contract between the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) and waste management company Zoomlion Ghana Limited.

The contract, which has been in place for 19 years, has faced repeated scrutiny over alleged financial mismanagement and unfair wage distribution.

Concerns over wage allocation Under the previous contract, which expired in September 2024, each sweeper was allocated GHS850 per month.

However, GHS600 was retained by Zoomlion, leaving only GHS250 for the workers.
