The government has announced its decision to reassign Samuel Adom Botchway from the Births and Deaths Registry.
This was disclosed by Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of State in charge of Government Communications.
The decision was taken following the announcement by the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG); it will embark on a nationwide strike over Botchway’s appointment as Registrar of the Births and Deaths Registry.
The National Executive Council (NEC) of CLOGSAG, after a meeting on February 11, 2025, opposed the appointment and warned that they will strike on February 20 if Mr. Botchway’s appointment is not revoked.
Reacting to this in a statement issued today, 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.
“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 said.
“The government of President Mahama remains committed to being a listening one as we together reset our nation,” he added.
