Civil Servants Associations in Ghana threaten
strike action
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot
Accra, March 23, Ghanadot - Apprehension has been growing
among some Civil Servants Associations in the country
following government’s directive that they be paid their six
months outstanding allowances.
Some members of the associations have been threatening to
lay down their tools indefinitely over their June to
December 2008 unpaid allowances.
The arrangement was reached between the civil servants and
government last year during salary negotiations after which
the Controller and Accountant General’s Department was to
pay fifteen percent salary increase across the board to
members of the association early this January.
The Controller and Accountant General failed to pay the
accumulated arrears to the workers as agreed on until last
week’s directive from the Finance Ministry.
Information gathered by Ghanadot indicated that the
announcement is being received with mixed feelings and
suspicion by some of the civil servants.
Secretary of the Central Region Civil Servants, Association
Kwame Dadzie Dennis revealed that “some of them have doubts
because these monies we were expecting in January 2009
didn’t come and in February too we were promised, it didn’t
come.”
The Ashanti Region branch of the association has already
made it clear they will not hesitate to lay down their tools
if government fails to honor its promise.
Asked whether the Central Regional branch will consider a
similar action if such a situation arises, Mr. Dennis noted
that “we have not taken that decision… we expect that it
will be something nationwide and when its nationwide, then
we expect the decision to be coming from National Executive
Council”.
