Member of the National Communications Team for the New Patriotic Party, Lady Vera Wiredu, has debunked allegations made by Labour Unions that the Government failed to consult them before the introduction of the Debt Exchange program.
Speaking in an interview with Kwaku Dawuro, on Movement In The Morning on Movement TV/Wontumi radio, Lady clarified that the government was in the process of consulting the Labour Unions gradually, since it could not be done at once.
She said ”I’ll be very hurt if anyone says Government did not consult them. You know the government consults the Labour Unions before making any decision. The CSOs and other Labour Unions you made mention, all form part of the Government.
As far back as September, the government was still consulting them so they also add their input, and as at November 8th, the Attorney General was advising about any Legality involved which some Ghanaians misquoted them. It was this same consultation that the Government was having with some of the Unions, which was unfortunately leaked by an insider to those in the other Unions.”
