Sources at National Lotteries Authority (NLA) hint of growing tension among workers over an attempt to retain the acting Director of Finance who have acted for almost 8 years and he is due for retirement in February .
The workers according to the source have vow to use all available means to resist the imposition of a retiree when there are equally competent and experienced professionals.
It is alleged that this orchestration is master- minded by some members of the board,
The workers position to fight the action follows the retirement of a number of officials for the past two years including a Director for research in December 2023 without any re- engagement and wonder what is the grounds for the pending action by the Board of Directors and management this time.
Mr Mortey is due for retirement in February after over 30 years in active service rising through the ranks to become acting Director General for 6 months with the exit of Osei Ameyaw and acting Director of Finance at the same time .
The irony of the saga is the board’s inability to make him the substantive in any of the positions but wants to offer him an extension.
NL A under Sammy Awuku has enjoyed industrial harmony which must be safeguard to improve productivity, growth and development
