The General Transport Petroleum and Chemical Workers Union (GTPCWU) is urging President Mahama to investigate the operations of the former Board Members of Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), citing concerns over transparency and accountability.
The union is specifically calling for an investigation into the actions of Leon Kendon Appenteng, Mrs. Sapara Grant, and Ato Morission, who were allegedly the key decision-makers during their tenure.
The union notes that the activities of the erstwhile TOR BOD suggest a deliberate intention to engage known individuals and affiliates within the previous government to partner with TOR for various transactions in a non-transparent manner.
The union’s National Chairman, Bernard Owusu, emphasized the need for an independent probe, suggesting that the union is prepared to submit relevant documentation to support its claims.
“Being a public institution, TOR holds significant importance to the nation; the TOR BOD must be held accountable for all decisions that had adverse financial consequences, which were proven to be driven by personal interest during its tenure,” he noted.
The union is seeking an investigation into the sudden removal and resignation of experienced general managers, as well as the reassignment of incorruptible staff. GTPCWU alleges that these moves were made to install more compliant personnel.
Additionally, the union is calling for a review of the promotions granted to five employees involved in establishing the TOR Workers Charity Trust.”
