Domelevo praises Organised Labour for blocking sale of SSNIT Hotels

Former
Auditor-General,
Daniel
Yao
Domelevo,
has
commended
Organised
Labour
for
their
strong
opposition
to
the
sale
of
60%
shares
in
some
four
Hotels
by
the
Social
Security
and
National
Insurance
Trust
(SSNIT).

In
an
interview
on


The
Point
of
View

on


Channel
One
TV,

the
former
Auditor-General
praised
Organised
Labour’s
unwavering
commitment
to
preventing
the
sale
of
the
hotels.

“I
follow
all
those
developments
with
keen
interest,
and
I
must
say
kudos
to
Organised
Labour
for
standing
their
ground
against
what
I
think
is
not
right.
If
you’re
doing
something
on
my
behalf
which
is
right,
I
think
it’s
proper
to
consult
me,
such
that
I
know
that
you’re
securing
my
interest,”
he
mentioned
to
host
Bernard
Avle.

He
declared
that
members
of
Organised
Labour
would
have
been
shortchanged
if
the
North
Tongu
Member
of
Parliament,
Samuel
Okudzeto
Ablakwa,
had
not
exposed
the
government’s
plan.

Mr.
Domelevo
questioned
the
government’s
decision
to
sell
its
assets
to
a
cabinet
minister,
calling
it
“strange”.

He
urged
institutions
like
Organised
Labour
to
remain
resolute
in
holding
public
officials
accountable
for
their
actions.

“So,
if
these
things
were
not
revealed
by
Ablakwa,
otherwise,
before
you
realised,
it
has
been
sold.
And
I
find
it
very
strange
that
a
government
will
sell
government
property
to
a
member
of
the
government.

“I
don’t
know
where
we’re
on
conflict
of
interest
and
how
we’re
respecting
the
provision
under
Article
284,
which
says
a
public
officer
should
not
put
himself
or
herself
into
a
position
whereby
his
personal
interests
would
conflict
with
the
work
that
he/she
does.
I
find
it
a
bit
strange
and
kudos
to
Organised
Labour,
I
think
we
need
a
bit
more
of
that
to
hold
people
accountable,”
he
said.

Commenting
on
the
delay
by
the
Commission
on
Human
Rights
and
Administrative
Justice
(CHRAJ)
in
releasing
its
investigation
report
on
the
petition
filed
by
Ablakwa,
he
criticised
enforcement
agencies
for
their
insensitivity
to
public
concerns.

“I
don’t
think
it
is
impatient
of
the
general
public,
I
think
the
enforcement
agencies
are
really
insensitive
to
the
public.
I
believe
everybody
has
heard
of
this
saying
that
justice
delayed
is
justice
denied.
But
even
in
the
court
of
law,
just
as
CHRAJ
is
also
doing,
it
is
the
same
thing.
Issues
of
national
interest
go
to
court,
CHRAJ
or
enforcement
agencies
and
it
takes
us
forever,”
he
said.
