The Plenary of the House of Representatives has mandated its Committees on Maritime and Judiciary to launch a full-scale investigation into allegations of assault and unlawful suspension of employees assigned at the Samuel Alfred Ross Port of Greenville, Sinoe County.
The decision, according to a release, was reached on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, during the 5th Day Sitting of the 4th Session, following a formal communication submitted by Sinoe County Electoral District #2 Representative, Alex S. Noah.
Rep. Noah requested the indulgence of Plenary to invite the managing director of the National Port Authority (NPA), Sekou Hussein Dukuly, to provide justification for the alleged beating, humiliation and indefinite suspension of several port workers.
In Rep.Noah’s communication, the affected employees, who are his constituents from Sinoe County District #3, and stationed at the Samuel Alfred Ross Port, reported that they were allegedly flogged, and publicly disgraced on the job site under the instructions of the port director.
He further described the situation as “appalling and unacceptable.”
“In this age and time, it is dehumanizing and a gross violation of basic human rights for employees to be assaulted, humiliated, and subsequently suspended without due process by their senior managers,” Rep. Noah said.
He added that such actions undermine national labor standards, and contradict the principles of equality and fairness in workplaces.
Plenary, according to the release, agreed that the allegations require urgent scrutiny, and therefore, instructed the Committees on Maritime and Judiciary to thoroughly probe the matter, engage the relevant authorities, and submit their findings and recommendations within two weeks.
The House reaffirms its unwavering commitment to ensuring the protection of workers’ rights, and maintain accountability across all public institutions.
