Management of The Multimedia Group in Kumasi sought answers from the woman after the issue was brought to the company’s attention.
She alleged she never received all Ȼ17, 000 because a former staff, Naa Amerley, popularly known as Auntie Naa took Ȼ5,000 for supposed ‘thank you’ for panellists on ‘Obra’.
She also alleged the team kept Ȼ8,000 out of Ȼ10,000 from an unidentified donor, in breach of the company’s rules.
