Immigration Office Take On Indian National For Racist Action

The production manager of LETAP Pharmaceuticals, Mr Rama Rao-Tan Travani, an Indian National who reportedly hurled racial insults at a Ghanaian worker has been detained by the Ghana Immigration Service.

A statement issued by the Director of Immigration, Mr W K Aboah, said Mr Travani is helping the Immigration authorities in their investigations into the Incident. Paul Dussey who works as a labourer in the Pharmaceutical plant, was made to suffer humiliation because of his deficiency in the use of the English Language.

Mr Rao Travani is alleged to have called him an animal, whose office should be the toilet, and one not fit to live among humans. The Indian production Manager, who is said to have unleashed terror on workers of the Company, usually boasts that he could do anything to any Ghanaian worker in the Company and still get a lot more to apply for the jobs because they are a hungry lot.

The Management of LETAP Pharmaceutical plant is reported to have summoned workers to an emergency meeting last week to court them, whilst the victim, Paul Dussey was paid three million cedis as compensation to drop the case.

Foreign nationals have in recent times taken undue advantage of the meek nature of Ghanaians, to unleash racist tendencies against them. The most recent example is the action of the Malaysian national who worked with Ghana Telecom as General Manager in charge of Marketing. He was deported for spitting in the face of a Ghanaian worker.
