The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has called off its strike on Thursday, 12 May, 2022.

Members of CLOGSAG began an indefinite strike on Thursday, April 21 over the nonpayment of their neutrality allowance.

Executive Secretary of CLOGSAG, Dr. Isaac Bampo-Addo,said it was noted that, payment of the Neutrality Allowance they demanded had not been effected as agreed in spite of official reminders and follow ups to the Ministry of Finance.

According to him, “The National Executive Council of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG) has decided to call off the nationwide strike by its members.

“The rationale to step down the industrial action was based on the fact that demand for the Ministry of Finance to direct the Controller and Accountant General to effect payment of the agreed allowance has been met. By this decision, the strike has been called off. All CLOGSAG members should report back to work by Monday 16th May 2022.”

The agreement between CLOGSAG and government have been met. So government have agreed to pay the Neutrality Allowance to members of the CLOGSAG but wanted the name ‘Neutrality Allowance’ changed.

Head of Local Government Services, Dr Nana Ato Arthur, told TV3’s Daniel Opoku in interview on Monday April 25 that “Both parties government and CLOGSAG have shown a very good faith as far as this is concerned Government was very transparent.

“We are pleading with you CLOGSAG, we can only implement that allowance that we say we are going to give to you, forget about the name that we call it. Because of that terminology, that nomenclature doesn’t sit well with us as government.

“So let us have a team to look at how it is going to be called, however, that allowance, we will give to you will be effective the last quarter of the year, from October.

CLOGSAG has agreed to government.
