They further demanded the immediate dismissal of Mr. Maxwell Woma, accusing him of recruitment based on monetary and political considerations. The company\u2019s Human Resources Manager, Mr. Emmanuel Kofi Edusei, was also accused of nepotism, corruption in hiring practices, and allegedly demanding money from locals before offering them jobs.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-21864\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-31-at-10.36.32_cc2c9704.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Bugre Samuel Sapak, an advisory board member of TAMCI, expressed disappointment over the company\u2019s lack of engagement with the community. \u201cWhen they came in, there was no proper engagement. We wanted to be part of the employment committee and bring in our own consultant to negotiate fair compensation for our people, but Emmanuel Kofi Edusei denied us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Receiving the petition on behalf of the company, Mr. Shun, the Executive Vice President and Investment Director, urged the youth to put forward their leadership for dialogue. \u201cWe need your leadership so that we can sit at the round table and discuss.
