GRAPHIC MD DISLIKES ME-KENU

-


The dismissed Ashanti Regional Editor of the Graphic Communications Group ltd, (GCGL) Daniel Kenu, has blamed the Managing Director of his former employer for his dismissal.
Mr. Kenu was handed a dismissal letter by the management of GCGL two days ago for what the employers consider to be a ‘gross misconduct and disloyal to the company’ for unilaterally backing out of a criminal case at a Kumasi Circuit Court about two months ago.
The employers, led by the MD, Kenneth Ashigbey, had vowed to pursue a criminal case against the senior brother of Ghana’s Black Stars captain, Baffuor Gyan for allegedly physically assaulting Mr. Kenu.
Mr. Kenu had sought to find out the where about of an ace Ghanaian musician friend of Asamoah Gyan, Castro, at a news Conference a day ahead of Ghana’s AFCON match against the Cranes of Uganda at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
However, on the third hearing of the matter, Mr. Kenu told the Court presided over by Mr. William Boampong to strike out the case because he (Kenu, the Prosecuting witness) was no longer interested to continue the matter.
Incidentally, it was the first time that the MD, who had traveled from Accra with a lawyer, was attending the hearing.
His presence was to give assurance of the support of the company to Mr. Kenu to pursue the case to its logical conclusion.
In fact, it was Mr. Kenu who reportedly met the MD and the company lawyer on arrival at the Kumasi Airport and led them to the office but could not hint them of his intentions about the court case.
The bemused MD could not even grant media interview after the court struck out the case while Mr. Kenu looked annoyed when journalists tried to interview him about his action.
In a number of media interviews granted a section of the media, Mr. Kenu indicated that the MD had clearly shown that he actually influenced the dismissal decision for no apparent reasons.
Mr. Kenu said he has been punished twice, after the assault against him and now his dismissal by the employers saying that he does not where he has gone wrong that should necessitate his dismissal.
He said his next line of action would depend on what advice he is provided by those around him.  

What do you also think about Mr. Kenu's dismissal?

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency which is in the western part of the metropolis from the Accra d

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously militating against
