Nana Yaa Adutwumwaa Morosa, the Queen Mother of Kenyasi No. 1 in the Ahafo Region, has raised concerns over insubordination among workers, which she says is leading to the dismissal of employees at Newmont Ahafo South Mines. Many of those affected are natives of the five communities where the company operates.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony for ten individuals from these communities, Nana Yaa Adutwumwaa Morosa highlighted that employees from Kenyasi No. 1, Kenyasi No. 2, Ntotroso, Gyedu, and Womahinso have been dismissed for violating company rules and regulations.
She advised the ten graduates, who have successfully secured employment with Newmont after their training, to strictly follow all company policies to uphold a positive image of their communities.
According to her, several workers have lost their jobs due to misconduct, including alcohol consumption and theft.
In a related interview with Adom News, Mina Duah acknowledged the high demand for employment in the area but emphasized that the company cannot hire everyone. She added that Newmont is providing skills training to help prepare individuals for direct employment with the company or its subcontractors, aiming to reduce youth unemployment.
Duah urged the newly employed graduates to take their jobs seriously and avoid actions that could put their positions at risk.
