The Local Government Committee of Parliament is set to meet the Employment Ministry and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) today over demands by the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG).
The Committee is hoping to get the government to commit to payment of their allowances, including the controversial Neutrality Allowance.
Several engagements with government had yielded no results, but the Committee has waded into the matter to bring some finality to it.
A Ranking Member on the Committee, Edwin Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, told JoyNews they have engaged the Finance Ministry on what has been done concerning the matter.
“We’re trying to make sure we expedite work on what they are doing; there are few naughty areas that had to be addressed so that the letter of comfort that CLOGSAG has been asking for will be ready.Latest News In Ghana. Click Here To Read Our Latest News Stories
“Since they have agreed already in detail, that this is something they are going to pay, we see what they can do. In fact, CLOGSAG has conceded and after briefing today, we can say that the onus of resolving this situation lies within the scope of government and the Ministry,” he said.
