We need new buses not a new Dep. MD – STC workers
Staff of the State Transport Corporation (STC) have kicked against the appointment of a third deputy managing director.
The workers say, the two existing deputies are enough as the corporation has more pressing needs that require attention.
Instead, the workers are of the opinion that the corporation needs to prioritise settling the GHS6 Million owed in pensions and the acquisition of more buses for the company.

The corporation has “operated without a Deputy Managing Director for a considerable period; suggesting that the reduction in deputy managing directors will not adversely affect our operations,” the workers stated in a petition addressed to the Board Chairman of the STC.

The workers emphasised the current challenges facing the company, particularly the “dwindling fleet of operational buses.
“Presently, out of a total of 145 buses, only 39 are deemed roadworthy.”
The workers indicated that: “This predicament is attributed to the inferior quality of the Daewoo buses acquired in 2020, resulting in frequent repairs and maintenance issues.”
They also highlighted the “outstanding provident fund contributions and other statutory deductions, which are significantly overdue, that is the Provident Fund arrears for about six years, the Tier 2 arrears totaling six months and the SSNIT deductions which are in arrears exceeding six million Ghana Cedis (GHS6,000,000.00).”
