Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has acknowledged the efforts of the former Chief Executive Officer of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), Kofi Agyepong, in the fight against the monopoly of waste management company Zoomlion.
He also praised the Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah, who served as a board member of the YEA during the previous administration, for his role in ensuring that Zoomlion was not awarded another contract.
In a post shared via his blog, Manasseh Azure noted that although the former CEO did not have the full backing of the board, he opposed the renewal of the contract.
His post read: "The immediate past CEO of the YEA, Kofi Baah Agyepong, is part of the reason the contract was not renewed before the NPP left office.
