Rape At Labadi Beach Hotel

0

Confidential documents in possession of National Digest confirm that the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SNNIT) faces an eminent collapse due to the huge financial loss the scheme has incurred in its holdings in Labadi Beach Hotel.

National Digest?s investigations into the alleged financial malfeasance at the Nation?s premier hotel, reveals the Board members and the South African Management Group known as Legacy Hotel and Resorts Group is alleged to have conspired to siphon several millions of Ghana cedis out of the country by using dubious expenditures to mislead SNNIT.

SNNIT is said to have formed a consortium, Hotel Investments Ghana Limited that oversees its interest in the management of the Hotel.

The South African Company is said to have entered into an agreement shrouded in secrecy with HIGL to manage the Hotel.

As at the time of going to Press, Alhaji Muntaka, Member of Parliament (MP) for Asawase is said to be the Chairman of the Board and even though the President has changed the Board of SNNIT by appointing Professor Joshua Alabi, rector of IPS as its Board Chairman and Ernest Thompson as Managing Director only two changes are said to have been effected at Labadi Beach Hotel. Reverend Bimpong is said to have been removed from the Board of the Hotel, whilst Muntaka who the workers allege to have been the most ineffective Board Chairman in the Hotels history is still at post.

According to the confidential documents, a clique of South Africans headed by Adrain Laundry, Gary Lane, Charles Njero and Kenedy Kidiga are said to be using Labadi Beach Hotel as conduit to siphon huge sums of money whilst the local workers are allegedly paid slave wages and treated like modern day apartheid victims.

Salaries and fringe benefits these cliques are paid monthly can be used to build Schools and Clinics around the country, according to figures sighted by National Digest.

Worst still, every consumer item the Hotel uses are imported from South Africa and Kenya.

National Digest sources at the Industrial And Commercial Workers Union (ICU) told National Digest the local Union is battling with the South Africans for salary increase and better conditions of service but management is said to be so defiant thereby daring the workers whose toil and dedication has raised their status to that of Sheiks, to go for arbitration.

As at the time of going to press, reports reaching National Digest suggests the Ernest Thompson administration has fired a query to the Management of the Hotel demanding to know how a gaping hole has been created by the Hotels Management that is likely to collapse the nation?s enviable pension scheme sooner than later.

Look out for how much the Board of Labadi Beach Hotel and the Management had drawn from the public purse since 2009, the huge cost of refurbishment at the Hotel and the role of some past politicians in the Kufour administration who contracted the South Africans to loot the nation?s treasury whilst government looks for money to implement the Single Spine Pay Structure.
