The Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG), has announced a nationwide strike starting on Thursday, February 20, 2025.
According to the Association, this action is in response to the appointment of Samuel Adom Botchway as the Registrar of the Births and Deaths Registry.
The Association asserts that Botchway is a politically exposed person and, therefore, unfit for the position.
In a press release dated February 13, 2025, the Executive Secretary of the Association, Isaac Bampoe Addo, revealed that the decision was made during a meeting of CLOGSAG’s National Executive Council (NEC) on February 11, 2025.
The statement read, “The National Executive Council (NEC) decided that should Mr. Samuel Adom Botchway assume office as Registrar of the Births and Deaths Registry, CLOGSAG should declare a nationwide strike.
“Mr. Samuel Adom Botchway took office on Wednesday, February 12, 2025. The Association has no option but to call for a nationwide strike from Thursday, February 20, 2025,” the statement added.
“We call on CLOGSAG members to stay at home from Thursday, February 20, 2025, until further notice,” it concluded.
