The Chief Executive Officer of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), Malik Basintale, has voiced concerns over the terms and conditions of the contract between the Government of Ghana and Zoomlion Ghana Limited.
In a Facebook post, Basintale revealed that the existing contract stipulates a monthly salary of GHC250 for Zoomlion workers.
The YEA Boss criticised the Akufo-Addo government for agreeing to such clauses.
“For 7 years, 9 months, the NPP renewed the Zoomlion contract in its current state, paying the Ghanaian Youth/worker Ghc250”.
He vowed to prevent the contract’s renewal in its current form due to unfavourable terms and conditions.
“I promise on my honour as I stand by the grave of my late DAD, NOT to RENEW the contract in its CURRENT STATE or FORM. It is EVIL for the Previous government to have committed to this and I SHALL STOP IT,” he wrote.
“If my mother/Brother/Sister were a Zoomlion worker, I wouldn’t be happy with either of them taking Ghc250 as Salary and as such, I can’t be happy with you, your mother, father, brother or sister taking the same.”
He reaffirmed the Mahama-led government’s commitment to resetting the country to be better, which, according to him, includes the vision that every worker is paid satisfactorily for the work done.
