Police Stops NABCO Trainees from Hitting the Street on May 10

NABCO Trainees
The Executive Body of the Coalition of NABCO Trainees has expressed gross despondency and disappointment in the Greater Accra Regional Police command for a deliberate action to retard their scheduled demonstration and to frustrate the leadership of the Coalition to give up on this genuine course.


The Coalition explicitly state that the Command's position in a letter served to the Coalition dated 7th May 2019 requesting further extension of the scheduled date for the demonstration on Friday, 10th May and request for Renotification on account of noncompliance of section1(1) of the Public Order Act 1994 (which States that any person who desire to hold any special event in the public place to notify the police not less than 5days before the event) is deliberate action to withhold the planned demonstration.

We will solidly state that there was a consensus Ad Idem and settlement between the command and coalition which resulted in rescheduling the date from Wednesday, 8th May to Friday, 10th May, and we very astonished the command is still entangling the coalition with the aforementioned Clause to forfeit the date as settled to hold the Demonstration on Friday,10th May 2019, they added in a statement issued on 8th May, 2019 and copied to odinews85.blogspot.com.


Read the full statement below:

The Coalition of NABCO expresses Disappointment in the Regional Police Command for postponement of the Demonstration scheduled Friday,10th May 2019.

The Executive Body of the Coalition of NABCO Trainees by this communiqué expresses gross despondency and disappointment in the Greater Accra Regional Police command for a deliberate action to retard our scheduled demonstration and to frustrate the leadership of the Coalition to give up on this genuine course.

We explicitly state that the Command's position in a letter served to the Coalition dated 7th May 2019 requesting further extension of the scheduled date for the demonstration on Friday, 10th May and request for Renotification on account of noncompliance of section1(1) of the Public Order Act 1994 (which States that any person who desire to hold any special event in the public place to notify the police not less than 5days before the event) is deliberate action to withhold the planned demonstration.
We will solidly state that there was a consensus Ad Idem and settlement between the command and coalition which resulted in rescheduling the date from Wednesday, 8th May to Friday, 10th May, and we very astonished the command is still entangling the coalition with the aforementioned Clause to forfeit the date as settled to hold the Demonstration on Friday,10th May 2019.

Below is the level of engagement between the coalition and the command:

1. The coalition on Friday, 3rd May notified the police about its intention to reschedule the previous demonstration which was to take effect on Friday, 12th April 2019 but withheld on specified reasons. The coalition was requested to furnish the regional command official letter in accordance with the aforesaid Act.

2. On Saturday, 4th May, the coalition through the National secretary sent a letter to the command and was informed the Regional Commander wasn't available and should return the letter on Monday, 6st May.

3. The coalition through the secretary diligently engaged the command on Monday, 6st May. The command then requested that Wednesday, 8th May fixed for the demonstration in the Renotification letter was earlier and recommended Friday, 10th May as good to hold the Action.

4. The Secretary to the Coalition had to rush back and retype the letter to capture the recommended date and resubmitted it to the command who promised to communicate back to the coalition.
With regard to the above vigorous engagement of the Command, the Coalition is overwhelmingly surprised with the contrary position of the command requesting for another postponement and Renotification. We solemnly allege possible influence by powerful forces to impede Trainees from channelling our grievances.

We hereby notify all Trainees and the Public about this development and crave your understanding into the dynamics of leaders struggles to justify and assert our collective rights.

The leadership Today will engage the command to revise its decision but in any contrary case, we will immediately fix another date not exceeding mid of next week which will not only apparently mitigate the said clause deliberately used to cripple our activity but the defacto practise of our Freedom as Citizens of this Country.

Finally, it has come to the notice of the leadership of the Coalition of serial callers probing into the status of our Regional Reps, purporting and threatening to eliminate them from the scheme on the pending renewal of our contract.

We will admonish all executives to be courageous and unflinching in our positive quest of seeking parity, and betterment of all Trainees. 

We have never involved in any illegitimate action, incitement or malicious naysayings to malign authorities or dent the image of this laudable initiative. There are a lot of blatant challenges and shortcomings which we earnestly demand stakeholders to address for the sanity of this initiative. Hence, the Coalition will not countenance any measure of intimidation or unjustifiably elimination of any executive from the scheme else this issue will purely degenerate to warfare and TRAINEES WILL ADVICE THEMSELVES ACCORDINGLY.

UniBank case referred to arbitration

The court however says the unibank case is not frivolous An Accra High Court has referred part of the case between the shareholders and the Receiver of uniBank for arbitration. The appointment of an arbitrator by the judge, Justice Jennifer Abena Dadzie, follows an application by the Receiver of the bank, Nii Amanor Dodoo, to dismiss the counterclaim of some of the shareholders of the bank to those he filed. However the court said unibank case is not frivolous. The Receiver, in his application, prayed the court to strike out the amended statement of defence and counterclaim of three of the shareholders. He said the pleadings by the defendants are an abuse of the court’s processes and attempt to delay the fair resolution of the dispute, which is “very simple as it involves recovery of sums of money which have been allegedly taken out of the accounts of uniBank, which is now in receivership.” The Receiver of defunct uniBank sued the founder of the bank, Dr Kwabena Duffuor and 16 othe
