Over 140 suspended staff of the Ghana Water Limited (GWL) mounted a protest at the Black Star Square on Wednesday, 9 September 2025, demanding reinstatement without delay.

The aggrieved workers, holding placards bearing messages such as “Mr President, intervene, we are all Ghanaians,” “May Allah speak to your heart, Mr MD,” and “Mr MD and GWL Board, call us back to work,” appealed to both government and the management to heed their plight.

They also sang patriotic songs to amplify their call for justice.

Their grievances stem from a directive issued on February 11, 2025, when GWL suspended all recruitments undertaken in November 2024.

This followed instructions from the Chief of Staff, who ordered the cancellation of appointments made after December 7, 2024, on the basis that they breached good governance principles.

The suspension applied to recruits who had already been posted to the regions but had not yet been placed on the payroll by January 2025.

The suspended workers, however, described the action as unjust, stressing that it had severely impacted their livelihoods and those of their families.
