GPRTU members elated over election of new executives



Scores of Ghana Private Road Transport Union Members in Accra have rejoiced over the election of newly-elected executive members into office, saying "their worries are now over".
The GPRTU members were seen on Tuesday chanting names of the defeated old executives amidst singing, dancing and joy saying "away".

They demonstrated their full support for the newly-executives by hailing their names as they embarked on a short march through some principal streets in Accra in an attempt to show off.

Ben Klottey, Chairman of Salaga Mamprobi taxi rank in an interview with Journalists said "God has answered their prayers by allowing the union members to vote the old executive members out of office".

He said their worries of corruption on part of the old executives will soon be  a thing of the past, adding they have so much confidence in the newly-elected executives to deliver to the satisfaction of the union members.

Ghana Private Road Union (GPRTU) of Trade Union Congress (TUC) has been rocked with so much confusion and agitation in recent times with majority of union members accusing the old executives of gross corruption in their line of duty towards the union members.

They also claim the formal National Chairman, Alhaji Yaw Manu has  flaunted the constitution guiding the union, twisted it to  his own benefit forgetting he must serve the interest of the  union members who elected him into office eight  years ago.

The embattled Alhaji Manu was also fingered by the most union members for failing to pay his staff for close to five months.

They have therefore dragged him to court seeking to dismiss him from office before the end of his tenure of office.

The controversial court case has since been pending in court until recently the union had its congress last Wednesday to elect new executives into office.

It however turned out that the union members has voted out the entire old executives from office replacing them with a new crop of leaders to stem the affairs of the union.

Below is the list of the newly-elected executives’ members of the GPRTU.

1. National Chairman-Kwame Kumah,
2.General Secretary-Issah Khaleepha,    
3. Deputy General Secretary (administration)-George Ofori-Davis,
