Ho (Volta Region) 20 April

The Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) is to start prosecuting tenets of their flats who have defaulted in the payment of rents.

Apart from the Juapong Textile Limited, the Volta Region Community Water and Sanitation Programme is the second best contributor to the Social Security Scheme in the region, with receipts totalling about 12 million cedis every month.

Mrs Helena Cartey, Volta Regional Manager of the Trust announced this in Ho last Thursday, at a ceremony to honour the VRCWSP. The Regional Manager said the Trust is also in the process of selling out its flats to interested organisations and individuals.

Mr Fred Bukari, Ho SSNIT District Manager, who presented a souvenir of the Trust to VRCWSP in appreciation of the unit's contributions, reminded workers to constantly update their beneficiaries to avoid embarrassment and confusion in the future.

Mrs Judith Bortsi, Administrative Officer of the VRCWSP, who received the parcel on behalf of the outfit, thanked SSNIT and pledged their continuous contributions saying "the welfare of our staff is of grave concern to us".
