The Minister-designate for Labour, Jobs, and Employment, Dr Abdul-Rashid Hassan Pelpuo, has vowed to protect Ghanaian workers from mistreatment by foreign business owners and ensure fair labour practices if approved by Parliament.
He said it was unacceptable for foreigners to operate businesses in Ghana and subject citizens to inhumane treatment, stressing that strict measures would be enforced to curb such abuses. "Victims should not hesitate to report such companies and abusers.
We will ensure culprits face the full wrath of the law," he added.
Appearing before Parliament's Appointments Committee yesterday, Dr Pelpuo underscored the need for a review and full enforcement of the Labour Act, 2003 (Act 651) and it's accompanying legal instruments.
