Kofi Siaw Agyapong, the CEO of Zoomlion has stated to the grand laughter of his audience, that “When you look on the streets [of Accra] now, everywhere is clean, everywhere is neat.”
When he saw his audience laughing, he explained: “I said neat because you have not moved to other African countries. When you move to The Gambia and other places and you come back to Accra, you think that Accra is the new London.”
“Sometimes do the benchmarking with other countries that you have visited.I have visited some countries and I think we are doing well,” Mr Agyepong said.
