Organised Labour declares strike over NPRA-SSNIT sale of hotels
A strike has been declared by Organised Labour in response to the NPRA’s approval for SSNIT to sell a 60% stake in four hotels to Rock City Hotel, owned by Bryan Acheampong. The TUC Secretary General expressed confusion over the NPRA’s decision to allow the deal to continue despite previously instructing SSNIT to stop. As a result, the TUC has instructed its members to stop working from Monday, July 15 until SSNIT publicly announces the termination of the sale. The union believes the sale is not in the best interest of Ghanaian workers. Minister Ignatius Baffour Awuah informed Parliament that the NPRA has given the go-ahead for the sale after reviewing the details.

There is a good reason why you should support the African Editors. Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we keep our journalism open for everyone to read, including in Ghana. If this is you, please continue to read for free. But if you are able to, then there are three good reasons to support us today.
1. Our quality, journalism is a scrutinising force at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more.
2. We are independent and have no billionaire owner pulling the strings, so your money directly powers our reporting.
3. It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this message.
