The General Secretary of the Ghana Federation of Labour (GFL), Abraham Koomson has pledged continued vigilance and advocacy following the cancellation of the controversial sale of a 60% stake in four of SSNIT hotels.
While commending the cancellation, Mr Koomson stressed that more action is needed to ensure proper management and accountability within SSNIT.
“We are awake now. We will fight for the right thing. Our initial demand was to cancel the deal, and they did it, but it shouldn’t end there. We don’t even trust the board,” he remarked.
In an interview on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem on Tuesday, Mr Koomson acknowledged that dissolving the board could create a leadership vacuum.
However, he emphasized the need for competent replacements and effective management during this transitional period.
He added that, Organised Labour has nominated 10 representatives from its members to engage SSNIT on future management strategies.
“We need to be prepared. We can’t just dissolve the entire board. We must make sure SSNIT functions properly,” he stated.
Mr Koomson also highlighted the need for legislative amendments to strengthen the role of Organized Labour in SSNIT’s governance.
“Our ultimate target is that the law should be amended. The National Pensions Act 2008 (Act 766) must be amended so that executives of Organized Labour will have a stronger mandate to work effectively in the interest of the scheme and its contributors,” he explained.
