The Chief Executive of Ghana International Airlines has described as untrue claims by the Minister of Transport and his Deputy that they were unaware that salaries of the airline’s staff have been in arrears for several months.
The sector ministers said they only got to know after the workers held a news conference last Friday to demand payment of their salaries which have been in arrears for three months.
Deputy Minister Dzifa Attivor told Joy Business, officials from the Ministry will meet with the staff, the Interim Management Committee and the Board on Tuesday to hear officially from the workers.
But Chief Executive Gifty Annan-Myers insists several letters have been forwarded to the Ministry and that the Minister and his Deputy cannot claim not to be aware that the workers had not received their salaries for the past three months.
She has since been liaising with the chief director of the ministry on the challenges being faced by her workers and was given the assurance that the ministry was working to resolve the matter.
“So if the minister or both ministers say they are unaware, it means their directors are not talking to them or their directors are working in a vacuum; they are working without the knowledge of their ministers," she said.
