Minority Chief Whip, Kwame Governs Agbodza, has told the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to address the issues that have resulted in the industrial action by Colleges of Education Teachers Association of Ghana (CETAG).
Mr Agbodza recalled that CETAG had been on strike for more than a month but the government had done nothing to address their concerns.
The Adaklu lawmaker told TV3’s Parliamentary correspondent Komla Kluste in an interview that “Dr Bawumia must stop the offbeat Dancing and deal with the month-old strike by Colleges of Education. Colleges of Education have been on Strike for more than a month now.
“How can you be dancing in front of thousands of students and lecturers who are in pain and on strike? Very insensitive.”
The leadership of CETAG announced an indefinite strike that started Friday, June 14, 2024.
CETAG urged all members to withdraw teaching and related services indefinitely until their grievances were resolved.
The strike was to register their grievance over the government’s delay in implementing the National Labour Commission’s (NLC) Arbitral Award Orders and negotiated service conditions.
“CETAG wishes to call on every member to immediately comply with this declaration by withdrawing teaching and related services indefinitely across all 46 Public colleges of education until all the orders arising from the Compulsory Arbitration Awards and related concerns are fully implemented by way of payments to our members and implementations thereof. Thank you.”
