GBC union petitions NMC over Director-General Amin Alhassan's tenure

Ghana Broadcasting Corporation workers have challenged Professor Amin Alhassan's authority through a formal complaint to media regulators. The union argues that Alhassan exceeded his legal appointment period by nearly two years after his contract ended in October 2023. Officials from the Controller and Accountant-General's office confirmed financial support for his position stopped in March 2025. The organization suspended salary payments to prevent unauthorized compensation under public finance regulations. Workers fear that decisions made during this disputed period lack legal validity.

Union representatives delivered their petition on July 21, demanding immediate resolution of the leadership crisis. Chairman Sam Nat Kevor signed the document giving the National Media Commission ten working days to respond. The complaint warns that continued occupation of the director position creates serious legal risks for the state broadcaster. Workers expressed concerns about potential financial damage and reputation harm to the national institution. The union threatened unspecified actions if authorities fail to address their demands promptly.
