President John Evans Atta Mills has issued a stern warning to people who employ various clandestine tactics at their workplace to undermine his government.
The President who addressed thousands of workers on Saturday to mark this year’s May Day stressed his government would not countenance such people who try to derail the growth agenda of the administration.
He noted that his recent unannounced visit to some public institutions was “aimed at encouraging you [workers] rather than for retributive purpose. But let me also say we will not sit down and allow anyone to try and derail our growth agenda”.
President Mills called for a collective acceptance from workers in the fight against corruption in the country.
He acknowledged that despite the fact that there are challenges and matters that need to be considered by the government, he will...ensure that “workers derive satisfaction from the work that they do, and that there is industrial harmony and peace”.
He promised that his administration would promote and enhance government-labour relationship for the benefit of the nation.
“You can trust my administration to be alive and sensitive to matters which constitute drawbacks and impediments to your capacity to move this country forward in the right direction.”
President Mills said the government has been able to “give the economy stable legs to stand on in order to promote the creation of productive employment activities in all sectors of the economy”.
He encouraged commercial banks to give the private sector affordable credit so that they can expand to stimulate growth and provide lasting jobs.
