CLOGSAG issues two-week ultimatum to government as labour tensions rise

More than 65,000 civil servants across Ghana are poised to lay down their tools within the next 14 days over government’s failure to implement a revised conditions of service agreement and a new salary structure.

Executive Secretary of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG), Dr. Isaac Bampoe Addo, says government has failed to honour a signed agreement from last year that was scheduled for implementation in January 2025. Despite holding five separate meetings with the Ministry of Labour, the commitments remain unfulfilled.

“Now we have a situation even media people are calling us asking CLOGSAG executives what are you doing about the MOU you signed with government? When is it going to be implemented?” he stated. “Let me repeat, we are not negotiating, we are only justifying why our conditions of service should be implemented.”

Dr. Bampoe Addo emphasised that CLOGSAG members will begin an industrial action in two weeks if their demands are not met. This warning follows closely on the heels of a nationwide strike by 128,000 nurses and midwives, which was only suspended following parliamentary intervention. Government is yet to resolve their financial demands fully.

Unfazed by claims of fiscal limitations, CLOGSAG insists the lack of funding is not a valid excuse. “There has not been any labour issues in the country where government has ever had funds, in the budget you have emolument, even if is not in the budget, in the financial regulation we have what we called supplementary budget,” Dr. Bampoe Addo maintained.

In a separate development, the Association has instructed all 3,000 of its members at the Births and Deaths Registry to remain at home starting Tuesday, 17 June 2025, over alleged misconduct by Registrar Samuel Adom Botchway.

“Here is the man threatening the staff that he is a lion, we all know what a lion looks like, victimising people. You see these politicians, they are worrying us, they must be where they belong to, this is a civilised structured civil service, we are telling government that until that is removed our people are staying at home,” Dr. Bampoe Addo declared.

CLOGSAG says it will not accept what it describes as a toxic working environment and is demanding immediate government action. The group has vowed to stand firm until concerns about both remuneration and workplace abuse are addressed.
