The Civil Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG) has announced a nationwide strike set to begin on Thursday, February 20, in response to what it describes as the government’s failure to act on its concerns regarding Samuel Adom Botchway’s continued stay at the Births and Deaths Registry.

CLOGSAG contends that despite assurances from the government that Mr. Botchway would be relieved of his position, he remains in office. The association pointed to his recent participation in the budget hearing at the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs on Monday, February 17, 2025, as proof that he has not been removed as promised.

In a statement issued by Executive Secretary Isaac Bampoe Addo, CLOGSAG emphasized that unless their grievances are addressed, the strike will proceed as planned.

“The strike will go on as scheduled unless our concerns are addressed,” the statement reaffirmed.

The association has urged all members across the country to prepare to withdraw their services, warning that any delays in resolving the matter could disrupt essential operations within the local government sector.
