The government is set to hold a negotiation meeting with the leadership of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association (CLOGSAG) on Thursday, February 27, in a bid to resolve the ongoing strike.
The association is demanding the revocation of the appointment of the new Births and Deaths Registrar, Samuel Adom Botchway, citing his alleged partisan affiliation.
This was outlined in a letter from the Ministry of Labour, Jobs, and Unemployment, which urged CLOGSAG to call off the strike ahead of the planned meeting.
Speaking to Citi News, Executive Secretary of CLOGSAG, Isaac Bampoe Addo, stated that the association’s next line of action would depend on the outcome of the meeting.
“And then number two, this neutrality that you are preaching, our members have been dismissed for violating it and doing politics so it is only fair as a start for this discussion, we think Mr. Botchway should not be there.”
