European Union Supports Ghanaian Contractors
Kumasi, April 8, Ghanadot/GNA- Ghanaian
Contractors will soon benefit from an European Union (EU),
sponsorship package in capacity building and supply of
equipment.
As a first step, the TMX, a Holland based Company which
deals with equipment supply to road contractors has offered
to supply variety of heavy duty equipment to some of the
contractors on credit to enable them to deliver quality
services on time.
Mr. Kwame Kyeremateng Mensah-Aborampah, Ashanti Regional
Chairman of the Progressive Road Contractors Association (PROCA),
who disclosed this at a general meeting in Kumasi on Tuesday
said capacity building training in management and effective
ways of winning bids for contracts will soon be underway.
He explained that such training workshops which will benefit
only registered members of the Association, especially
Quantity Surveyors and Managing Directors would award
Participants with Certificates.
Mr. Mensah-Aborampah therefore called on contractors who
have not as yet registered with the Association to do so to
benefit from the package while also appealing to them to
work hard to restore the fallen image of the country’s
contractors.
He hinted that government had resolved to pay all
outstanding debts to contractors, denying speculations that
five percent of such monies deducted would go into
government chest.
Later in an open forum, members of the Association pleaded
with the executive body to support them as indicated in
their slogan “Unity, Love and Forward in Progress.’
They also called for equal share of contracts among members
when they are awarded.
