The Minority in Parliament has condemned an alleged GRIDCo measure for its employees to sign a new Oath of Secrecy that will prevent them from speaking on issues affecting the company.
“This attempt is dangerous, it is contrary to the growth of the company and the Right to Information Law,” said the Minority in a statement signed by Adam Mutawakilu, MP from Damongo and a senior member of the Committee on Mines and Energy.
The statement says that as part of GRIDCo’s terms of service for employees, no employee is expected to speak or disclose such confidential or classified company information to the general public and this is strictly enforced and enforced by employees. ” , but the recent attempt to introduce the signing of an oath of secrecy is alien to the conditions of service and conventions practiced in the company over the years. “
The Minority noted that it suspects that as the 2020 elections approach, the leadership and indeed the government are trying to use this oath of secrecy to prevent employees from speaking out against acts that tend to harm GRIDCo’s effective operations. .
The minority in Parliament, therefore, requires that the management of GRIDCo and President Nana Akufo-Addo, as a matter of urgency, stop the proposed oath of secrecy since, according to them, “its application is a violation of freedom of expression of employees, an affront to the Right to Information Law and a dent in our growing democracy. “
