A worker at the ongoing project to expand the Tema port has been injured and rushed to hospital after he was hit by a stray bullet following protests by workers on Thursday, June 22.
An eye witness at the scene tells Pulse News that the police was called in to arrest.
He explains that the rubber bullet has injured someone’s eye and has been rushed to the hospital.
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.
