NAGRAT Warns SSNIT Against Hotel SaleNAGRAT Warns SSNIT Against Hotel Sale The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has issued a strong warning to the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) to halt the sale of four of its hotels. According to NAGRAT President Angel Carbonu, SSNIT management will face a swift and resolute response from the association if they proceed with the sale. “If they become intransigent, some of us in Organized Labor will move a motion that we should sleep – occupy SSNIT buildings until such time as they see reason to do the right thing,” Carbonu said. The concerns stem from a May revelation by North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who questioned the sale of 60% of SSNIT’s stake in the hotels to a foreign minister. Despite a petition to the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), Ghana Federation of Labor claims SSNIT is continuing negotiations with Rock City Hotel, owned by Foreign Minister and Agriculture Minister Bryan Acheampong. Carbonu emphasized that SSNIT is a public trust belonging to Ghanaian workers and not a “cabal of politicians.” He stressed that Ghanaians should have pushed for reforms in SSNIT’s governance structure. “If they become intransigent, we in Organized Labor will move a motion that we should occupy SSNIT buildings until they see reason,” Carbonu added.
