Members of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG) in the Northern Region are set to embark on a strike due to the assault on a member, Suleman Yakubu Tikumah, the Regional Environmental Health Officer at the Tamale Regional Coordinating Council.
Members of CLOGSAG are outraged by their allegations that Sule Salifu, the Tamale Metropolitan Chief Executive, assaulted one of their members.
The MCE was reportedly asked to write an apology and pay for any damages after the Regional Minister allegedly interfered.
Meanwhile, the MCE has failed to do so, which is an indication that the Tamale MCE has not regretted his actions.
Due to this backdrop, CLOGSAG has urged its members to embark on a sit-down strike for their own safety.
All CLOGSAG members in the Northern Regional Coordinating Council and the Tamale Metropolitan Assembly are urged to remain at home until further notice, commencing on Monday, February 19, 2024.
The purpose of the sit-down strike is to express anger at the assault and the Metropolitan Chief Executive's disregard for the agreements made to resolve the issue. Members of CLOGSAG seek accountability and justice for the attack on their colleague.
