According to the union, there is growing unrest among staff members due to circulating reports suggesting that the board Chair is actively involved in efforts to oust the MD. This purported action stems from her resistance to participating in certain decisions that are believed to be detrimental to the organization's advancement.

A memorandum addressed to the staff, which has been obtained by Starr News, originates from the Ghana Airport Company Division of the Public Services Workers Union of the Trades Union Congress (TUC). In this memo, credit is given to the current MD for fostering stability within the organization.

Chairman of the union, Abdul Issaka Bamba, cautioned that any endeavor to remove the MD could lead to disruptions in the smooth operations of the airports.

“I’m also seeing it for the first time, I have to go to the company and find out, if you want to quote me that’s what you can say, I’m also seeing for the first time and I have to go to the company and find out from the union people, that I’ve seen this document what is it about? Because I have engagements with them every now and then so if they have written something, I’ve seen it. So maybe by the time I finish with them, they’ll realize that there is nothing like that or it’s not like that. So I have to go and engage with them.”

Asked whether he has a frosty relationship with the MD, Mr. Adom-Otchere expressed shock at such a claim given the good relationship between the board and management of the GACL.

“I don’t know where that is coming from. We have a board meeting on Monday so you can ask some of the board members. I don’t know where this is coming from.”
