Sabat workers criticise govt

Former employees of Sabat Motors say they are disappointed that two-and-a -half years after the NPP administration assumed office, it has not been able to find a satisfactory solution to the company’s problems. Sabat Motors was closed down fours years ago due to allegations of misappropriation of the company’s finances by management.

An Interim Management Team (IMT) was set up by government to find a solution to the company’s problems, but the workers say the Team has not lived up to expectation.

But members of the IMT are accusing government of siding with the company’s directors to frustrate and delay their work. They contend that the company’s directors, currently using the premises of Sabat Motors have clearly violated a Cabinet decision passed in November last year, which directed them to vacate the company’s premises to enable the IMT to pursue its mission.

A member of the Team, Harry Addo told JOY FM that the team has not been to carry out its mandate because it does not have access to all the company’s resources and properties.

Mr. Addo said the government’s refusal to release an amount of 5 billion cedis proposed as start up capital to revive Sabat

Motors shows that government is not interested in the company’s welfare. He does not understand why the government should look on unconcerned while the directors use the company’s facilities for illegal purposes
