The Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG) has thrown its weight behind the three striking teacher unions over the appointment of the new Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Dr. Eric Nkansah.
According to CLOGSAG, there is similar development with the appointment of the Registrar at the Births and Deaths Registry.
“Similar appointments in the Civil Service and the Local Government Service are not conducive for industrial harmony.
“It is significant to note that the appointment of public officers vested in the president should be in accordance with the advice of the governing council of the service concerned, given in consultation with the Public Services Commission,” the Association indicated in a statement.
CLOGSAG therefore urged the government to engage stakeholders in the announcement of appointments to bring peace on the labour front.

This comes on the back of the National Labour Commission (NLC) directing the three striking teacher unions to immediately call off their strike after negotiations with the Ministry of Education ended inconclusive.
The Unions on November 4, 2022 declared a nation-wide strike action over the failure of the government to meet the deadline to terminate the appointment of the
However, the NLC held that the teacher unions did not follow the right procedures for their strike actions.
