The Ghana Toll Workers Association has countered assertions made by the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), denying that former tollbooth workers have already been hired.
On Thursday, February 22, the Agency announced the recruitment of 282 Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), asserting that this group included former toll collectors.
However, Edward Duncan, the Secretary of the Ghana Toll Workers Association, refuted these claims in an interview with Selorm Adonoo on Eyewitness News on Citi FM on Friday.
Duncan clarified that the government is presently in the process of hiring some former toll workers, revealing that interviews were conducted for a number of them on Thursday, February 22, and Friday, February 23.
Contrary to the Agency’s statement, Duncan asserted, “It is not true that those 99 have been engaged. What is true is that they have gone for interviews. As to whether they will be employed or not is another matter. They have not been given any form of employment letter.”
He emphasized that the interview process had commenced on Thursday and continued into Friday, challenging the CEO’s statement that 99 individuals had already been employed.
According to Duncan, “They have started the process. They have gone for interviews for them to be employed.”
