Parked Trains Serve As Bothels In Accra

Coaches of the Ghana Railway Company (GRC) are believed to have been turned into mini brothels by commercial sex workers in the capital. They coaches are also serving as sleeping places for head porters in the Central Business District in Accra. This follows a three week long strike by the workers of the company to back demands for their unpaid salaries and improved conditions of service. The workers have insisted they would only go to work if the management of the company agrees to pay them a 150 per cent salary increase. While the management and workers of the company try to resolve the issues to enable work to resume, the coaches, which are sitting idle on the rails are serving a purpose for some miscreants. The Managing Director of the GRC, Mr. Rufus Quaye told Joy News he was not aware that the trains had been turned into brothels and sleeping place s for some people. He however gave the assurance that measures will be taken to rid the coaches of any criminals.
