Pay attention to inscriptions on placards during May Day parade - Minority to Prez.

The Minority in Parliament has charged President Akufo-Addo to pay particular attention to inscriptions on placards by workers at the workers during the May Day parade.

Minority leader, Haruna Iddrisu argued that sentiments of workers are mostly carried on those placards. Speaking on the floor of Parliament he tasked the government to improve on the working conditions of workers.

''The placards manifest internal deep wounds that need the attention of the state and sometimes the attention of the President to address them. Sometimes there are legitimate concerns raised for the betterment of their situation as workers''.
