TUC asks NPP Government to Keep Promise

The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to keep to its electioneering promises to offer good governance based on honest and sincere leadership, consolidation of the rule of law and better management of government finances.

Mr Kwasi Adu-Amankwah, Secretary General, said the party must hold itself together and re-organise itself to be able to hold on to power.

The Secretary General told an orientation workshop for Ministers of State at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) in Accra that the TUC is ready to work with the government in achieving "all that we consider to be relevant objectives for the development and progress of this country".

Mr Adu-Amankwah said the NPP should constantly remind the government of its framework for the development of good policies, champion the rule of law and ensure security and stability, adding that unionised labour expects good results from the government.

The TUC boss said efforts were being made to bring informal workers under the ambit of the trade unions.
