They are calling for the resignation of their CEO, Kofi Owusu Boateng, Joy News’ Nancy Emefa Dzradosi has reported Tuesday morning.
According to them, Mr. Owusu Boateng is inexperienced and lacks vision.

Produce Buying Company Limited is incorporated as a Public Limited Liability Company under the Company’s Code of 1963 (Act 175). In May 2000, the Company was listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange.
The CEO of PBC has been responding to the allegations leveled against him.
Kofi Owusu blamed the state of affairs on the previous management under the erstwhile NDC government.

And “until there are money and a letter of comfort, the situation will not change,” he pointed out Nancy Amefa Dzradosi.
The Demonstrators who were draped in red, were calmed by words of assurance from the General Secretary of the ICU.
Solomon Kotei told the aggrieved workers that the government will soon come to their aid.
