The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Dr. Eric Nyamekye, has urged staff of Zoomlion Kenya to prioritise competence, integrity, and faithfulness as the company expands its operations in East Africa.
He spoke to workers and management during a visit to Zoomlion’s Nairobi facility on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. He said national and corporate development depends not only on natural resources, but also on strong governance, discipline, and skilled human capital.
Apostle Nyamekye noted that countries that have achieved long-term prosperity were built on sound policies and principled leadership. He stressed that competence and moral integrity must guide recruitment and leadership decisions.
He added that faithfulness is a universal value that goes beyond religion, while integrity remains a rare but vital asset in both business and public life.
He encouraged staff to remain committed to Zoomlion’s vision and work together to ensure the success of its operations in Kenya and beyond. He said organisations that combine professionalism with integrity are better placed for sustainable growth.
The visit formed part of ongoing engagements following Zoomlion’s entry into Kenya’s waste management sector. Present at the meeting were Executive Chairman of the Jospong Group, Dr. Joseph Siaw Agyepong, and other senior management members who also attended the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi from May 11–12, 2026.
Apostle Nyamekye highlighted the global presence of The Church of Pentecost, which currently operates in 211 countries and territories. He said this growth reflects what can be achieved through clear principles and mission-driven leadership.
He also reflected on his long-standing relationship with Dr. Agyepong, recalling Zoomlion’s early beginnings in Ghana and its growth into a major environmental services company.
Quoting Joshua 1:3, he urged employees to see their work in Kenya as purposeful and strategic. “When you set your foot at a place, possess it,” he said.
Zoomlion Kenya’s Director of Operations, Dr. Peter Dagadu, said the company has recorded significant progress within four months of starting operations in Nairobi. He noted that the firm is working with city authorities to implement an integrated waste management system to improve sanitation and public health.
He revealed that Nairobi previously had about 409 illegal dump sites, many of which are now being cleared. He added that access roads have been upgraded and waste collection systems reorganised to support 24-hour operations.
According to him, waste processing has increased from about 100 tonnes daily to more than 832 tonnes weekly. The company is also targeting full clearance of illegal dump sites within 90 days.
He further announced plans for a secondary waste collection system and a 3,500-tonne waste processing plant at Muraai, expected to be completed by November 2026 to support recycling and resource recovery.
Kenya’s Majority Leader in Parliament, Kimani Ichung’wah, also visited the delegation and described the engagement as a strong example of African collaboration and investment partnership.
Dr. Siaw Agyepong attributed Zoomlion’s expansion across Africa to strategic leadership and divine guidance. He said recent international engagements have opened new opportunities for the company’s growth.
He reaffirmed Zoomlion’s commitment to sustainable environmental solutions that promote cleaner cities and improved public health across Africa.
The visit ended with prayers and thanksgiving songs, as management and staff expressed optimism about Zoomlion’s continued growth in Kenya and across the continent.
