Organized Labour has urged Ghanaians to reconsider the proposed flagship policy of the New Force Movement, which aims to dredge the sea to Kumasi in the Ashanti region.
They emphasized that the policy, presented by the leader of the New Force Movement, has been misunderstood and should be viewed in terms of its practicality and potential benefits.
Speaking at a meeting between the New Force Movement and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) of Ghana to present the Movement’s 16 industrial policies, the Secretary-General of the TUC, Dr. Anthony Yaw Baah, expressed support for political leaders whose policies can bring about transformative change in the country.
He highlighted that Organized Labour is ready to support initiatives that promise significant developmental impacts.
“If you look at the river systems, when you dredge the Pra, Tano, Bia and the rest, it easily links to Cape Coast. And his point was that why should we use our roads to cut things? We can actually use our river systems, once we dredge properly, the vessels can use it, and they can transport it from Accra to the North.
