According to him, at National Security secretariat, they were asked to return because the District Assembly would take over the project. �Since April 1992, our Association has been registered and authorized to operate by the GWCL,� he revealed and appealed to government to investigate this matter. �The Association is operating with over 500 cars. Each has a driver and 2 assistants�this adds up to nearly 2000 workers. With this termination, these people have been rendered jobless,� he lamented.
