MAL-ADMINSTRATION AT THE GPTC
By Abdou Yanka
Gambia Public Transport Corporation’s managing director has accused by his staff of unfair treatment. According to the staff, the managing director who is on an eight-day leave, paid himself his four years leave arrears even though GPTC has abolished payment of leave arrears since many years ago.
“The MD took eight days leave and came back to join the APRC campaign team. He is alledged to have bought 600metres of the APRC ashobi at the cost of D25, 000 and that fifty-three female staff were each given six meters and one hundred dalasis for sewing, while the male staffs were given 3 meters and a hundred dalasis for sewing. Also the staffs were forced to put on the “ashobi” and attend the APRC nomination last week,” said an aggrieved staff.
The money spent on the APRC ashobi is said to have come from the funds generated from the buses plying the Banjul-Dakar route. The staff alleged that all this was done by the management while the staff’s salaries are not yet paid.
In another development, the GPTC MD is alleged to have put up a proposal to sell the GPTC’s turning point at Bakoteh, behind the Elf petrol station, where the present car park is located. The said proposal is said to have been approved by the GPTC board members and is now waiting for interested buyers. The MD, who is on leave, has handed over responsibilities to Mr. Kebba Demba as the acting managing director.
When contacted, Mr. Kebba Demba told our reporter that he cannot comment on the issue since his boss who was with him at the time has asked him not to speak to the press.
