The World Bank Group has placed a ban on Zoomlion Ghana Limited for two years over alleged bribery in Liberia. The bribery allegation involved the World Bank-financed Emergency Monrovia Urban Sanitation Project.

According to a report published on the World Bank’s website, Zoomlion paid bribes to facilitate contract execution and processing of invoices. Accordingly, Zoomlion will not qualify for any contract financed by the World Bank Group for a period of two years.

The two-year ban took effect on September 24, 2013.

The World Bank said Zoomlion needed to demonstrate full and satisfactory compliance with the World Bank Integrity standards in order for the ban to be lifted.
