Dominic Nitiwul admits he took on Mahama based on misinformation

In July 2007, the Local Government Ministry ordered all metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies (MMDAs) in Ghana to stop evacuating their own waste and sign another contract with Zoomlion, so that after the sweepers managed by Zoomlion cleaned the market, the assemblies would pay Zoomlion from their common Fund to dispose of that waste.

The big assemblies, such as KMA, AMA, Tarkwa Nsuaem, have their own equipment because Zoomlion has proven incapable of conveying all the waste from public spaces through the SIP contract.

Zoomlion still has the contract to lift and dispose of waste for the assemblies, a contract the company has underperformed over the years, leaving container sites with heaps of waste In 2007, when the SIP was being signed, Zoomlion didn’t have the equipment to cover all the assemblies.
