Owner of Excellence in Broadcasting (EIB), Dr. Kwabena Duffour has described political propaganda claims that the staff of GHONE TV one of the firms under EIB, have not been paid for several months.
He revealed, that what is owed to the aggrieved workers, are arrears and not salaries.
“Since January they [EIB] have been paying them, there is no problem. It’s previous arrears they are talking about. So the management is handling that problem. Arrears and not payment of salaries…,” Dr Duffuor said in an interview with Accra-based Asaase Radio.
He said he was not aware that some staff who participated in the strike had been asked to stay home.
“I have so many companies. I have not had any information that they are not paying themselves … EIB has been there for how many years? For seven to eight years, why will the workers be there and not be treated well?”
“I don’t believe that, it is propaganda, and if I want to support the grassroots of my party (NDC ) what is wrong with that? Do you know what they go through? Go and see what they are going through in the rural areas …” he said.
