The move comes after it was revealed that the company failed to pay workers' medical aid and pension contributions for the past six months, despite deducting the funds from employees' salaries.

The announcement was made through an official statement by GNT, confirming the board's action in response to mounting concerns over financial governance, operational delivery, and executive accountability.

Patrick Monkoe, spokesperson for the Department of Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (Ledet), said the resolution followed ongoing oversight challenges.
