The Managing Director of the Produce Buying Company (PBC), Kwaku Nkansah has reacted to protests by PBC workers over unpaid salaries.
Admitting financial struggles, he urged the agitated workforce to remain calm as efforts are being made to resolve the issue in two weeks.
Speaking in a media interview, Mr. Nkansah urged the union to rescind its decision to go on a demonstration.
We are working tirelessly to ensure that this matter is resolved. Please remain calm. In two weeks, I hope we will see light at the end of the tunnel. Trust me, this too shall pass.
Mr. Nkansah explained that the company’s financial woes are internal and not due to government debt.
The government does not owe us; our debt is from within our own company and we are working hard to address it. We simply do not have the money at the moment.
The PBC MD disclosed that, there are ongoing discussions with stakeholders, including COCOBOD and various banks, to secure the necessary funds.
