The leadership of the Public Services Workers Union of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced an indefinite strike starting Friday, May 3, 2024.

This action comes as a protest against what they perceive as an attempt to evict the executive director of the EPA, Dr. Kingsly Krugu, from his official residence by the new Interior Minister, Henry Quartey.

Chairman of the union, Godsway Daniels, addressed union members and directed all staff to cease work on Friday.

Daniels stated that the workers will march to the Ministry of Environment, Science, and Innovation to deliver a petition. They plan to subsequently occupy the disputed bungalow to prevent the interior ministry from ejecting their boss.

He cautioned the Minister of Works and Housing, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, to refrain from involvement with the bungalow, as the EPA lacks the financial means to renovate a new residence for their director.

Daniels also raised questions about the status of the bungalow traditionally occupied by interior ministers, querying whether it has been sold and to whom.
