In accordance with the management decision, the Central Regional Chairman of GPRTU will now be on two thirds of his salary allowance until the investigation is completed and decision is taken on the case.

This goes in line with Article 23 of the Unions constitution sub clause (d) which states that “An Officer charge with a criminal offence shall be interdicted on two thirds (2/3) salary or Allowance until he or she is exonerated unquote”.

investigation into the matter began after some elected central regional officers led by vice chairman Ignatius Mensah lodged a complaint to the GPRTU national headquarters.

They complained among other things that the chairman does not operate with the constitution. They also accused Alhaji R.S. Artey of selling two Benz buses and pocketing a whopping sum of GHS68,000 from the sales as well as taking monies from the office without proper documentation among others.
