President John Dramani Mahama has sworn in a seven-member National Labour Commission, charging the new leadership to restore confidence in the country’s labour dispute resolution system by ensuring fairness, consistency and speedy adjudication of cases.
President Mahama noted that the credibility of the Commission is critical to building trust for stable and fair workplaces to guarantee the livelihood of Ghanaians.
"A worker with a grievance wants to know that somebody will hear it and deal with it fairly and expeditiously. And the National Labour Commission has a responsibility to apply rules to the letter," he noted.
The President congratulated the Commission members and expressed gratitude to their predecessors for their service to Ghana.
The new Labour Commission, chaired by Justice Isaac Delali Duose, a retired Justice of the Court of Appeal, includes Joseph Kingsley Amuah and Isaac Sackey, both representatives of the Ghana Employers Association; Prince William Ankrah and Abdul-Samad Ali Gomdah, both representatives of Organised Labour; and Rosemond Freeman-Tettey and Antwi-Boasiako Sekyere, who are nominees of the President.
Justice Duose, on behalf of the Commission, thanked the President for the confidence reposed in them and promised to be transparent and fair in all matters brought before the Commission.
