Stop the media warfare - GWCL to agitated workers

Clifford Briamah, GWCL Managing Director

Aggrieved workers of the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) have been advised to use the appropriate structures in making their concerns known rather than resorting to the media in an image-smearing campaign.

A statement issued by the GWCL and copied to MyNewsGh.com stated that such acts as reported by a section of the media, are misrepresentations which inevitably bring the image of not just the Board, the Chairman, and Management of GWCL into disrepute and ridicule.

“The general public is assured that GWCL Board of Directors, Management and staff are working and will continue to work harder in the best interest of consumers in urban Ghana and therefore urge the public to disregard such diversionary publications”, the statement urged.

GWCL PRESS STATEMENT

The Board and Management of Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) have noted with dismay, the recent spate of publications in certain newspapers, making false allegations and printing palpable untruths about the Board and Management of the Company by misrepresenting decisions taken by the Board of GWCL to bring about the much-needed turnaround in the fortunes of the Company.

The Company has also taken notice of the ongoing smear campaign against the name and person of the Board Chairman in the said publications, which campaign is attributed to anonymous concerned workers etc.

‘Concerned Workers’ and any other person(s) who are aggrieved over decisions of the Government, GWCL Board and/or Management are advised to make use of the appropriate channels for settling these grievances instead of resorting to media warfare, as such misrepresentations in the print media inevitably bring the image of not just the Board, the Chairman, and Management of GWCL into disrepute and ridicule, but more importantly, the Government of Ghana.

The general public is assured that GWCL Board of Directors, Management and staff are working and will continue to work harder in the best interest of consumers in urban Ghana and therefore urge the public to disregard such diversionary publications.
