The Deputy Executive Secretary, of CLOGSAG, Mr. William Kojo Krakani was speaking during the 2025 of the Association Thanksgiving Service in Accra saying, the Association will not relent on it’s effort to get to it’s destination , adding that CLOGSAG is prepared to take that line of action’ ’by calling on its members to embark on strike.
Mr. William Krakani said as far back as the year 2018 , the Association presented it’s salary structure and conditions of services for government approval through their respective Councils as negotiations lead to the signing of two Memorandum of understanding [MOUs] on 19th January, 2022 and 5th of July,2024.
‘’It was agreed that the effective date of implementation would be January ,2025 and government have not made the needed commitment towards the process,’’ the Executive Secretary said.
