Ignore Nana Addo's plea to rescind decision to embark on strike — Ansah-Asare to Organised Labour

A former director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansah-Asare, has urged Organised Labour to disregard President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s appeal to call off its planned nationwide strike against illegal mining.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo appealed to Organised Labour to reconsider its planned strike scheduled for October 10, 2 024, emphasising his commitment to addressing their concerns regarding illegal mining, which is wreaking havoc on Ghana’s environment.

The president made the appeal during a closed-door meeting on Thursday, October 3, with Organised Labour’s leaders, where the urgent need for decisive action against illegal mining was a central topic of discussion.

Ansah-Asare criticised Akufo-Addo for failing to follow through on his promise to put his presidency on the line in the fight against the galamsey menace, citing a lack of sincerity in addressing the issue.

"On assumption of office, he said he would put his presidency on the line and said should he fail the galamsey fight, he would pay for it. We have asked him to apologise but he hasn’t apologised.

"He has only eight weeks [to end his tenure] and by now, he should have allowed his vice, Dr Bawumia to assume the reigns of government. He shouldn’t be asking organised labour to do anything.

"He has not been sincere. You will not keep any promise that you give within the next eight weeks. So as far as I am concerned, organised labour should proceed with the timetable," he added.
