Workers at media outlets within the EIB Network, the media conglomerate owned by Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, have gone unpaid for almost a year, according to reports.
Meanwhile, while the workers suffer in poverty, the network’s owner, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, is said to be spending money on a campaign to support a battle for the opposition National Democratic Congress’s flagbearership (NDC).
According to information, some workers of the network were shocked when Dr. Dufuor gave an interview on the flagship TV station of the EIB Network, GHOne and revealed that his campaign for the NDC’s 2024 flagbearership is a solid one without money problems.
Dr. Dufuor revealed he had no money problems even though the Management of various EIB Networks have been shifting the goal post on when exactly workers’ salaries can be paid.
Reportedly, in September, there was a promise to clear the salary arrears training back 12 months, however, only two out of the 12 months were paid.
