Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Secretary General of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Dr Yaw-Baah, has said the programme with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is not yielding the expected results for workers.<\/b><\/p>\n

In his view, it appears there is no light at the end of the tunnel for the economic hardships.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt appears there is no end in sight for the challenges, we were told that an IMF bailout will help but we know that an IMF bailout can\u2019t be the solution to the economic hardship…We have a lot to do to protect the workers of Ghana,\u201d he said In an address to mark this year\u2019s May Day celebration on Wednesday, May 1,<\/p>\n

Regarding the challenges of the Cedi, Dr Yaw Baah said in order to deal with the woes there\u2019s a need to reduce importation.<\/p>\n

Workers\u2019 Day: Let\u2019s reduce import to tackle Cedi fall \u2013 TUC Boss<\/p>\n

He said import requires the exchange of the local currency into dollars.<\/p>\n

This, he said, strains the Cedi hence, the need to reduce the import and consumption ore locally produced foods.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cIf we want our Cedi to be stable we should reduce import and consume what we produce in Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n

The theme for the celebrations in Ghana is \u201cElections 2024: The Role of Workers and Social Partners in Securing Peaceful Elections for National Development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahead of the general elections, Dr Yaw-Baah urged the Electoral Commission to deliver free, fair, and transparent elections.<\/p>\n

He also asked the Police and the judiciary to play their roles effectively to ensure credible polls.<\/p>\n
