Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye has urged staff and management of Zoomlion Ghana Limited in Kenya to uphold competence, integrity, and faithfulness as the company expands its operations across East Africa.
Addressing workers during a visit to the company’s Nairobi facility on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, Apostle Nyamekye stressed that sustainable corporate and national development depends not only on natural resources but also on disciplined work ethics, effective governance systems, and quality human capital.
According to him, countries that have attained prosperity did so through sound leadership and effective policies, adding that competence and moral integrity must remain central in recruitment and leadership decisions. He encouraged staff to remain committed to the vision of the company and work collectively toward the success of Zoomlion’s operations in Kenya and beyond.
Apostle Nyamekye noted that organisations that combine professionalism with integrity are better positioned for long-term relevance and sustainable growth. The visit formed part of engagements following Zoomlion’s recent entry into Kenya’s waste management sector.
Also present during the visit were Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong and other management members of the Jospong Group who had participated in the Africa Forward Summit held in Nairobi from May 11 to 12, 2026.
Highlighting the global reach of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Nyamekye disclosed that the church currently operates in 211 nations and territories worldwide. He said the church’s international growth demonstrates what institutions can achieve when they remain focused on clear principles and mission-driven leadership.
Reflecting on his long-standing relationship with Dr. Siaw Agyepong, dating back to the 1990s, Apostle Nyamekye recounted witnessing the modest beginnings of Zoomlion in Ghana, including the commissioning of one of the company’s early facilities. He expressed appreciation for the company’s transformation from a small sanitation enterprise into a major force in Africa’s environmental management sector.
Referencing Joshua 1:3, he encouraged employees to approach their assignment in Kenya with purpose and determination, saying, “When you set your foot at a place, possess it.”
Providing an operational update, Dr Peter Dagadu said the company has made significant progress within four months of commencing operations in Nairobi. According to him, Zoomlion is collaborating with city authorities to implement an integrated waste management system aimed at improving sanitation and public health outcomes.
He disclosed that Nairobi previously had about 409 illegal dump sites, many of which are currently being cleared as part of the company’s intervention. He explained that Zoomlion has upgraded access roads and reorganised operations to support round-the-clock waste handling and transportation to designated disposal sites.
Dr. Dagadu further revealed that the disposal site, which previously handled about 100 tonnes of waste daily, now processes more than 832 tonnes weekly. He added that the company is targeting the clearance of all identified illegal dump sites within 90 days.
In his remarks, Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong attributed Zoomlion’s expansion into Kenya and other African countries to strategic leadership and divine guidance. He stated that the company’s recent participation in international summits and engagements with African leaders has created new opportunities for growth across the continent.
He reaffirmed the company’s commitment to delivering sustainable environmental solutions that support cleaner cities and improved public health outcomes throughout Africa.
The visit concluded with prayers and thanksgiving songs as management and staff expressed optimism about Zoomlion’s growth prospects in Kenya and its broader continental expansion agenda.
