Sunda Ghana sacks 350 workers after uninstalling operational lines over smuggling of low-quality products
A recent visit by the Parliamentary Select Committee on Trade, Industry, and Tourism to the Sunda Ghana Limited has revealed the dismissal of approximately 350 workers.
During the visit on May 9, it was revealed that the workers had to be laid off after “the company faced a challenge where it was forced to uninstall two of its operational lines due to the smuggling of low-quality products particularly diapers.”
Managing Director of Sunda Ghana Limited, Mr. Wei Yea, has appealed to Parliament to develop policies to help quell illegal activities to protect and support local manufacturing companies.
As part of the visit, Mr Wei Yea took the parliamentary committee through the operations of the company as well as its investment history.
Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Alexander Roosevelt Hottordzie, lauded the management of the company for their role in ensuring sustained growth.
“I'm happy to note a lot of things are going on in Ghana, unfortunately, we are not aware of it. I think that is the reason Majority Leader and the Leader of Government Business, Hon. Mahama Ayariga has asked all committees to use this short recess to leave the walls of Parliament to the field to get information that will guide the decision of the president to reset Ghana,” he said.
Hon. Alexander Roosevelt has also pledged to supporting the expansion of the company’s operations to create more job opportunities, which aligns with the incumbent government’s 24-hour economy policy.
Presently, the government is working to address the devastating unemployment rate in the country. Meanwhile, Fitch projects that Ghana’s unemployment will be an average 4.0% of the labour force.
