However, in a statement on Friday, February 14, Kwakye Ofosu confirmed that the issue had been resolved.
“In the truest spirit of cooperation and understanding, we are happy to announce that the matter has been resolved and there will be no nationwide strike by CLOGSAG,” he stated.
He also noted that the precedent set by the previous government—appointing a non-civil servant to the position—remains an issue before the courts.
“We have learnt that the precedent that was set by the outgone government of appointing a non civil servant to that position remains a pending matter in the courts,” he added.
Ofosu stressed the government’s commitment to being a listening administration and working together with all stakeholders to reset the nation.
“The Government of President Mahama remains committed to being a listening one as we together reset our nation,” he added.
