The newly elected president of the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ Workers Association (MIAWA) is calling on central administration to immediately put in place measures to revisit the current insurance contract with Securisk Company so as to positively impact the lives of workers.

Samuel B. Fayiah said despite the huge premium deducted by Securisk from employees, little treatment is given to them and their dependents whenever they visit the hospital for medical attention. Fayiah noted that he will insure to serve in working assiduously to improve workers’ welfare and also seek the protection of their rights at all levels.

Fayiah who is also the director for communions’ farms at the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the same time asserted that he will seek cordial relationship with administration for a dialogue to tackle the numerous challenges faced by employees such as lack of transportation to and from work. He promised to perform his duty as a servant president for employees of MIA.
