According to the PNC, they have stumbled on some documents which confirms that government had a GHc450 million contract with Zoomlion claiming that about GHc62 million has so far been paid the company illegally for no work done.

The party is however demanding a thorough investigation into the matter.

In a interview the General Secretary of the PNC, Atik Mohammed said the party will pursue the matter vigorously.

“It is even worse than that of Woyome, Woyome probably attempted doing something in the area of financial engineering but in the case of Zoomlion and the 62 million that has been paid to them and awaiting further payments, no work has been and yet the person has been given this amount of money.”

“We have enough documentation to indicate monies were fraudulently paid to this entity under some very dubious arrangement. Petitioning EOCO is just the first step, we will go every length that we did in the case of Woyome and even more,” he added.

The opposition New Patriotic Party which first raised the issue at a press conference few days ago accused government of making the payments to Zoomlion for the management of some Youth Employment modules.

The Policy Advisor to the NPP’s 2016 campaign, Boakye Agyarko at a press conference on Wednesday, said the government’s initial payment of GHc62 million to the company shows that the government has no intentions of fighting corruption as it claims.

He alleged that government has authorized the diversion of 10 per cent of allocations from the District Assembly Common Fund meant for the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) to make the payments to Zoomlion.

“And to make matters worse, Cabinet has given go-ahead for the use of the 10 per cent of the District Assembly Common Fund allocated to the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) to make this illegal payment…This amount is meant to pay for 45,000 workers who are actually on the payroll of the various District Assemblies. So, the Assemblies are responsible for paying the wages of the 45,000 and not the service provider,” he said.
