The Civil and Local Government Staff Association (CLOGSAG) says it will continue its nationwide strike until the government revokes the appointment of the current Births and Deaths Registrar and appoints a civil servant to the position.
This comes after the Association renewed its strike in protest against the appointment of Samuel Adom Botchway over alleged affiliation with the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The strike, which was officially declared on Thursday, February 20, is a continuation of CLOGSAG’s stance against Botchway’s continued tenure. The association argues that the appointment of a politically affiliated individual compromises the neutrality of the civil service and undermines professionalism within the public sector.
Edmund Acquaye, the Public Relations Officer of CLOGSAG, speaking on the Channel One Newsroom on Monday, March 10, emphasised the importance of maintaining the neutrality, permanency, and anonymity of the civil service.
“The best thing government needs to do is to revoke that appointment and make that position a civil service position and a civil servant must occupy that position.
“We are still on strike and we will still embark on our nationwide strike. We are drumming home the neutrality, the permanency and anonymity of the civil service,” Acquaye stated.
