Parliament wants to talk with journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni about his harsh words against the waste company Zoomlion. Azure warned Youth Employment Agency head Malik Basintale not to extend a sanitation deal with Zoomlion. He called the contract theft on Facebook, saying it smells bad.

The problem centers on workers' pay. The deal gives each sanitation worker GH¢850 monthly, but Zoomlion takes GH¢600 as fees. Workers receive just GH¢250, which many people call unfair. The contract ended last September, but reports say the YEA board might renew it despite the previous CEO fighting against it.

Nkwanta North lawmaker John Kwabena Bless Oti disagrees with Azure. He leads the Sanitation Committee, which visited the Kumasi Compost Plant last Thursday. Oti said they will ask Azure to share his concerns when Parliament meets again. He warned that many Ghanaians would lose jobs if the deal stops.

Oti suggested creating a special fund for sanitation across Ghana. He promised the government would pay money owed to YEA workers and the Jospong Group. He defended Zoomlion as a Ghanaian company that deserves support through proper channels.

Achiase MP Kofi Ahenkorah Marfo backed these comments as the committee praised Jospong for creating jobs. The lawmakers recognized how the company helps with waste management and making Ghana cleaner. They promised to watch carefully how any new sanitation fund works.
