The protest staged by the workers stem out of the fact that workers have been unfairly treated for many months.

“How can you pay your workers less than GHC250.00 and expect them to survive and work well? The Chinese workers eat good meals whilst we eat bread…” an agitated worker told Adom FM’s Isabella Gidiglo Ave in an interview.

The police were invited to move the workers from the site since they had refused to work, but they pelted the law officers with stones, compelling them to fire rubber bullets to contain the situation.

Things are under control due to the intervention of the Deputy Minister of Roads and Transport, Daniel Titus-Glover.
