The Local Workers Union Vice Chairman of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) Michael Allotey said they have no qualms with the appointment of a new Director General for GBC.
The National Media Commission on November 24 asked the Director General of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, William Ampem-Darko to proceed on an indefinite leave.
This follows allegations of malfeasance which was leveled against him in an audit report.
The Media Commission also directed the Board Chairman of GBC, Prof. John Aheto to step aside while investigations are conducted into allegations of malfeasance and corruption against Mr Ampem Darko.
A statement signed by the Executive Secretary of the NMC, Mr George Sarpong and issued in Accra, said the NMC had observed that there was an "obvious breakdown of mutual trust and confidence between Prof. Aheto and Mr Ampem-Darko" which was negatively affecting the operations of GBC.
Speaking on ASEMPA FM’s current affairs program “Ekosii Sen” Michael Allotey said the Union accepts the decision made by NMC and will not challenge its mandate.
He therefore called on the members of the Union to remain focused and work within the requirement of the Union’s constitution.
