Donning red and black attire, the workers passionately expressed their opposition to the move, fearing widespread job losses.

The workers, numbering over 1,000, risk losing their livelihoods if the land transfer proceeds. Concerned workers spoke out about the potential impact, urging immediate intervention to prevent the takeover. One worker emphasized, “We won’t agree to this because we have nowhere else to go. Pambros produces salt, contributing to the nation’s economy. If our jobs are destroyed, how can we support the country as local producers?”

The worker highlighted the significance of the salt industry, revealing that even the Jubilee House relies heavily on their produce. “President Akufo-Addo must take action on this,” the worker pleaded.

Another worker echoed these concerns, calling for justice. “It’s unfair to give our land to the Chinese without our knowledge. We beg the traditional authorities to ensure justice is served.”

The workers’ protest underscores their determination to protect their livelihoods and the nation’s salt industry from foreign takeover.
