In the Statement, the committee should also inquire into allegations of racial discrimination and the non-remittance of statutory deductions to the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), and
National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and establish reports that employees’ salaries are subject to deductions for stock variances, and that employees work extended hours without compensation.
