PRESS STATEMENT BY MARWAKO FAST FOODS ON CASE OF ALLEGED ASSAULT AT ITS ABELENKPE BRANCH
The management of Marwako Fast Foods deeply regrets the alleged incident of assault at its Abelenkpe branch on Sunday, February 26, 2017.
The branch supervisor at the centre of the unfortunate development has since been suspended, without prejudice, pending investigations and disciplinary sanctions over the alleged act.
Management assures its clients and the general public that it does not and will never condone mistreatment of its workers and therefore condemns in no uncertain terms the alleged assault.
Management is cooperating fully with and assisting police to establish the true facts for the purposes of allowing the laws of Ghana to be applied accordingly.
The said Abelenkpe branch supervisor, Mr. Jihad Chaaban, has been interrogated by police and is currently on bail pending further processes.
Meanwhile, management has become aware that the victim had immediately reported the incident to the Head of Human Resources at the Labadi branch, but this, unfortunately, had not been brought to the attention of management until police sought to arrest said supervisor.
It is understood that HR Department had attempted to resolve issues internally and that explains why said victim reported to work on Monday, February 27, 2017.
These attempts at internal resolution were then curtailed by management to allow for disciplinary proceedings as Chaaban was suspended.
Marwako in the meantime is providing the best of care and ensuring the best interest of the victim, and assures that it will not sacrifice the reputation it has built for itself over the last twelve years in Ghana as an entity that looks out for its employees who are credited for the best services it renders to its clients.
The Chief Executive Officer who is himself a Ghanaian citizen, employing over three hundred of his fellow Ghanaian citizens, is particularly saddened by the incident and commits to getting to the bottom of it.
Signed
Chief Executive Officer
Alhaji Marwan Mohammed

i am sadden by the incident, my dear pls seek for justice aaaa wo'abr3" go direct to the human right to report. and then sue the supervisor and the company for breach of contract and let them know that your eye cant even see well
This is more than ample evidence indicative of the ill treatment that Ghanaians are subjected to each day in these Asia countries whose people because of their pigmentation ignorantly consider themselves equal to the white man (because the butterfly can fly it considers itself a bird and even bigger than the parrot). Ghanaian families should not allow their siblings to travel to these countries in view of the violence and sometime cruel death that our kin and kith go through on daily basis. If under our very nose these horrible and condemnable acts could happen and the perpetrators are treated with kids groves then God have mercy on the people called Ghanaians who just yesterday celebrated 60th "independence"anniversary.
