The Ghana Toll Workers Association refutes claims that the Youth Employment Agency(YEA) has employed former tollbooth workers.
On Thursday, February 22, the Agency announced it had recruited 282 Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), asserting that this group comprised former toll collectors.
However, Secretary of the Ghana Toll Workers Association, Edward Duncan, in an interview refuted these claims.
He explained that the government is presently in the process of hiring some of them and that several former workers were invited for interviews on Thursday, February 22, and Friday, February 23.
“It is not true that those 99 have been engaged. What is true is that they have gone for interviews. As to whether they will be employed or not is another matter. They have not been given any form of employment letter.”
“They started (the interview) on Thursday, and even on Friday, so for the CEO to come out and say that they have employed 99 is not entirely true. They have started the process. They have gone for interviews for them to be employed,” he stated.
