Labour Minister Sends SOS Message To CLOGSAG Amidst Strike Action

The Minister of Labour, Jobs, and Employment, Dr. Abdul-Rashid Pelpuo, has urged the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) to suspend its strike over the appointment of Samuel Adom Botchway as the new Registrar of Births and Deaths.

In a letter addressed to the Executive Secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo, Dr. Pelpuo acknowledged concerns raised by CLOGSAG.

He assured that discussions have been held with relevant stakeholders to address the concerns and reach an amicable resolution.

“I appreciate that CLOGSAG’s concerns do not particularly relate to the President’s appointments but rather to the fact that the individual in question is deemed to be politically exposed,” the letter stated.

Dr. Pelpuo expressed hope that CLOGSAG would reconsider its position, urging the association to call off its strike and allow members to return to work.

CLOGSAG had earlier rejected a request from the Ministry to call off the strike, which began on Thursday, February 20.

Addressing the press in Accra on Saturday, February 22, Mr. Bampoe stated that the request lacked merit and violated CLOGSAG’s statutes, which prohibit politically exposed persons from holding key positions in the civil service.
