Zoomlion Cleans Independence Square

Four days after the inaugural ceremony of President John Evans Atta Mills at the Independence Square in Accra, the arena and its environs had been kept clean after the event.
At about 12 noon on Thursday when the Daily Graphic got to the arena, it had been cleaned with no trace of a paper and a plastic although hitherto the area could be described as very dirty.
The excellent work was undertaken by workers of Zoomlion Ghana Limited in collaboration with Parks and Gardens. They started the cleaning at 7am.
Mr Joseph Gletsu, the leader of the group told the Daily Graphic that because of the huge nature of the amount of garbage created and its spread as a result of the event, they had to sweep from the National Theatre through to the Independence Square to the Osu Castle.
He said the garbage consisted of mainly empty water, ice cream sachet and rappers.
The workers called on the new government to ensure the continuous operation of Zoomlion Ghana Limited because the organisation had provided them employment and it had also served as their source of income for their daily livelihood.
They however, called on the organisation to increase their salaries as the work they do was tidious but with meagre salary.
The atmosphere at the time the Daily Graphic was leaving was quiet with everybody going about their normal activities without let or hindrance and no vehicular traffic jam as compared to the inaugural day.
