Union against
privatisation of revenue collection
Accra, Nov. 29, Ghanadot/GNA - Mr Williams Mensah, General
Secretary of the Local Government Workers Union (LGWU) of
the Trades Union Congress (TUC), has appealed to government
to stop various District, Municipal and Metropolitan
Assemblies from privatising the collection of Property
rates.
He said if the privatisation was allowed, it would affect
the jobs of permanent staff that had worked for several
years. It would also derail government efforts towards
solving unemployment problems facing the country.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in an interview in Accra,
Mr Mensah said
instead, the services of the Institute of Local Government
Studies must be engaged to train revenue collectors to
upgrade their skills.
Mr Mensah said the Union was ready to lend its support
towards such training.
