The upcoming nationwide strike by the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) is facing internal resistance as aggrieved members openly challenge the leadership’s agenda. The strike, set to commence on February 20, 2025, is aimed at protesting the appointment of Mr. Samuel Adom Botchway as the head of the Births and Deaths Registry—a move deemed politically influenced by the union’s leadership.
Â
However, dissent is brewing within CLOGSAG ranks. Aggrieved members argue that the strike is misplaced and irrelevant to their pressing issues, such as the long-awaited implementation of the New Salary Structure (NSS) and concerns over the Tier-3 Pempamsie Fund. These members have vowed to defy the strike directive, choosing instead to report to work as usual.
This division exposes a growing disconnect between the union’s executive leadership and its grassroots members. As CLOGSAG leadership focuses on political appointments, aggrieved members demand attention to economic issues impacting their livelihoods.
