Public Service Workers Union of the Ghana Airport Company today February 19, 2018, lifted red flags at the Airport premises to protest the appointment of a new Deputy Managing Director for the Company.

Prime News has learned that the new Deputy Managing Director, Yaw Kwakwah, sued the Ghana Airport Company Limited in the past for wrongful termination of his appointment, as Deputy MD.

The workers say Yaw Kwakwah lost the case he filed against the Ghana Airport Company Limited at the time but failed to return the company’s properties in his possession as directed by the court.

According to the General Secretary of the Public Services Workers Union at Ghana Airport Company Limited, Richard Ampaabeng, Yaw Kwakwah must apologize for his past actions and also adhere to the directives of the court.

“The court directed that certain actions should be taken. For instance, the vehicle that he was using, which he never submitted, he needed to pay the balance of the value of the vehicle but he never paid. He [also] had furniture that he needed to pay for which he never did, I would even recommend that Yaw Kwakwa should just be honourable and apologize for the actions that he took,”

Aside concerns relating to the court, the Public Service Workers Union also believe the position Yaw Kwakwah has been appointed to, is needless.

“When he went out, things have evolved at the Airport to the extent that the position he has been appointed to no longer exists, so his appointment will sort of jeopardize the job evaluation that has been done at the Airport.”
