In a major development for sanitation workers in Ghana, salaries of Zoomlion workers have been significantly increased from GHC250 to GHC1200. This adjustment has been welcomed as a long-awaited move to improve the welfare of workers who have been the backbone of the nation’s cleanliness efforts.

Previously, each worker was allocated GHC750, but only GHC250 made it into their pockets. The rest was deducted under unclear arrangements. However, with the new increment, every Zoomlion worker will now take home the full GHC1200, ending years of complaints and dissatisfaction.
The change follows strong advocacy and reforms pushed by Malik Basintale, who has been vocal about ensuring better working conditions and fair compensation for sanitation staff. His efforts have been praised by both workers and the general public as a step toward restoring dignity to the profession.
This increase is expected to boost morale among sanitation workers and improve their standard of living while motivating them to continue playing their crucial role in keeping communities clean. Many see this as a victory for fairness and transparency in public service contracts.
Zoomlion employees across the country have expressed gratitude, with many calling it a “dream come true” after years of underpayment.
