We wish to first of all state that, Zoomlion has no deal and or connection with any road towing programme with the GPRTU. We find the tweet firstly by Bright Simons and by Ghana Web unfortunate and repulsively regrettable especially where there was no fact-checking from Zoomlion Ghana Limited before the publications. We, therefore, wish to demand a retraction and an apology from Bright Simons and Ghanaweb on the said publication as quickly as possible otherwise, we shall take legal action to address the matter. Zoomlion is concentrating on transforming the waste management sector of Ghana and will not be distracted by any person or group of persons in any way.
