Management at Metro Mass Transit Limited has outlined a series of internal reforms aimed at stabilising the company’s finances and improving staff welfare.
According to Head of Corporate Communications, Mohammed Mubarak Watara, in an interview on Morning Starr with Isaac Addae, the company inherited a debt of over GH₵135 million.
However, within a year of the current administration, more than GH₵20 million has been repaid using internally generated funds.
He also revealed that an audit of the company is ongoing, with management committed to making the findings public once completed.
“The final audit report is not yet out, and as such, I do not want to pre-empt its findings. We will wait for the external auditors to complete their work and submit the report to management and the board. Once that is done, all relevant information will be made public—we have no intention of concealing anything,” he said.
Mr. Watara further highlighted longstanding staff welfare concerns, noting that employees had gone over eight years without any salary increment, which significantly affected morale and productivity.
To address this, management has implemented salary adjustments, increasing wages by 25% for junior staff and 20% for senior staff.
The reforms, he said, are part of broader efforts to improve operational efficiency, restore confidence within the workforce, and position the company for sustainable growth.
