CLOGSAG leaders ended their big nationwide strike last Friday after an emergency meeting. Executive Secretary Isaac Bampoe Addo said they stopped the strike to continue talking with officials about fixing their problems. He asked all Civil Service and Local Government staff to come back to work next Wednesday, April 2, 2025.
These workers first left their jobs on February 20 after Samuel Adom Botchway became the Births and Deaths Registrar. CLOGSAG wanted someone already working as a civil servant to take this job. They worried about Botchway's close ties to the National Democratic Congress party currently running the country. The group believes that putting party-connected people in these jobs ruins the neutral status of civil service and makes public offices less professional.
