Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Eastern Regional Office of the Public Services Workers\u2019 Union (PSWU) of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Ghana, has held its 11th quadrennial delegates conference to elect new council members for the region.<\/b><\/p>\n

The conference also celebrated the shared commitment to public services and reaffirmed the council officers\u2019 dedication to serving the public, upholding the highest standards of professionalism, and ensuring that the needs and concerns of its members are heard and addressed.<\/p>\n

Speaking to delegates in Koforidua, Mr. Benard Adjei, General Secretary of PSWU, said with the support of the council members at the various regions, the National Council members have been able to introduce the PSWU fund that grants all members soft loans at a 15 percent annual interest rate.<\/p>\n

Currently, he said the National Council members have introduced the \u201ccritical illness fund,\u201d which caters for cancer, stroke, heart, and kidney diseases.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing about it is that you (all members) are not going to pay anything for this,\u201d he said, adding, that, \u201cthe dues that you have already paid to us, we have agreed with your divisions to put aside some of that money in the fund.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, \u201cshould the unexpected happen to anyone, the person can write to the divisional chairperson of PSWU for onward processing to get the fund to cater for such diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n

He urged the public service workers that the union would ensure it continued to engage and work with the appropriate authorities to make sure that their interests were protected.<\/p>\n

About 300 council members from the different branches of the union attended the conference in Koforidua, including representatives from the Kwabeng, Odumase-Krobo, Begoro, Kade, Takorase, Nkawkaw, Donkorkrom, Akosombo, Mampong Akuapim, Akim Swedru, Akim Oda, and other parts.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ernest Kwame Billy, Acting National Vice Chairperson of PSWU of the TUC, swore the newly elected officers who included Mr. Ebenezer Acheampong, the Eastern Regional Chairperson; and Mr. Sukai Abudu Issah, the Regional Vice Chairperson.<\/p>\n

Others were Madam Evelyn Asante Obuobisa, the Regional Vice Chairperson (woman); Mr. Patrick Agyei, the Regional First Trustees; and Mr. Michael Amanor Ahuno, the Regional Second Trustees; Mr. Kingsford Akorful, the Regional Youth Committee Chairperson; and Madam Abigail Ahorbu, the Regional Youth Committee Vice Chairperson.<\/p>\n
