Slavery in the 1900 was precisely like this. Those shipped over to work in the plantation suffered similar fate. No Ghanaian should team up with any foreign again their own fellow African in pursuit of money or business. Ghana is now 60 yrs old and enough is enough. Ghnaian must be bold and call the shot. That adding value to all our products and in this way securing jobs for the jobless instead of shipping all raw products oversea and making them richer and prosperous leaving us poor and vulnerable and needing aid form those countries. What a disgrace Africa has become.Fellow Ghanaians look out for each other and speak out against brutality you see. Hopefully the minister of Employment will outline what is sees right to protect all our Ghanaians whether they work for an foreign or not. Equal right for all is presently needed to see all Ghanaian through to our next stage of development.

Dr. Akwetey and others should be congratulated for articulating this issue on behalf of the complainant.
This kind of problem (Ghanaian employees being maltreated by expatriate employers) is a serious problem in Ghana where Some Lebanese, Malaysian, Indian and Chinese expatriate employers are concerned. Ghanaian employees are treated like modern slaves at their work places, and worse of all if the incident surfaces some of the Ghanaian employees who were not victims of the incident are then paid "chop money" by these same expatriate employers to sing their praise and say what the victim is saying is not true (though in a lot of these cases what is reported happened).
The other serious issue linked to such cases is that some cheap Ghanaian public officials (politicians, soldiers, policemen) are "in the pockets" of some of these expatriates through recieving "protection money" (frequent occurrence) and being called "friends", or stopping at the houses/restaurants of some of these expatriates to eat "sumptous meals" and "expensive drinks", that these Ghanaian officials will rather not use their own money to pay for.
With such cheap corrupt practices by their Ghanaian public official "friends", these offending expatriate employers get away with a lot in how they treat their Ghanaian employees because after all they have Ghanaian friends in high places to protect them.
Lastly for the information of some of these cheap corrupt Ghanaian public officials, their so called expatriate business community "friends" in private express disdain towards them. I personally have had conversations and heard these cheap Ghanaian public officials being referred to in unpalatable/unprintable terms/words by their very expatriate business "friends" and "paymasters".
The very relationship of slavery about this saga is not towards the poor Ghanaian under-paid employees who sufffer in these situations, but also the conniving cheap and corrupt Ghanaian public officials who assist the expatriate business employers to sweep such matters under the carpet.

I thought Ghana has institutions to deal with such situations! Why all the brouhaha with a whole minister leading the pack of wolves? Why are we pre-judging the case? This is unfair to both sides. Democracy is not just voting and declaring a winner. There are rules and procedures to follow. We no longer live in trees. Populism is cheap and a huge threat to democracy. The minister should rather focus on policy and it's implementation so that such incidents don't occur again.

All the Lebanese and Syrians have overstayed their welcome.
Time for them to leave.
By proxy, they rule Africa.
They have done enough damage in Africa.
Only a selected few should be allowed to stay if they would.
House cleaning time and no stone should be left unturned.
We have learned a thing or two about marketing from them and now I believe we will do fine in that department without them. Thank you very much.
They are into diamond, gold and timber as well.
It is not beyond us to mine our own minerals and fell our own trees.
We have our own trouble makers to worry about.
Time to close the era of madness.

The girl in question must sue the company for compensation after the criminal court proceedings comes to an end.
This will teach all the foreigners in Ghana who want to willingly abuse Ghanaians a lesson

You are taking this issue too far. Unions have not solved the numerous challenges members face. On top, the only beneficiaries, financially, are the leaders. Even in the developed economies, not all companies allow unions to flourish in their setup. In a situation such as what is happening in Ghana ie when government cannot provide jobs for everyone, the choice is yours, it's a take it or leave it situation. The appropriate law mechanism has kicked in and whatever is legal is being pursued. Your utterances are like directing which way things should proceed. I am disappointed in your posture on this.

In case Ghanaians do not know that's how your brothers and sisters are treated in these Middle East countries by these Arabs.His name is Jihad,and should tell you the sort of person he is.Arabs have been known to consider us blacks as second grade people and treat us the same. I wonder why Ghanaians should seek employment in these countries. They don't respect us,period.
