The Civil and Local Government Staff Association Ghana (CLOGSAG) has expressed their dissatisfaction with the government for appointing members of their party to higher positions in public office, even though some do not qualify for the office.
According to the association, the government should desist from such acts because they hinder the work of civil servants.
In a press release from the association signed by the Executive Secretary, Dr. Isaac Bampoe Addo, and copied to the Ghana News Agency, the statement follows calls from Dr. Kwabena Donkor, Member of Parliament for Pru East, for staff of the Ministry of Finance to be reprimanded for cheering the Minister after the presentation of the 2024 Budget Statement.
The presser stated that, since the establishment of the association in 2017, it had issued a series of press releases and wrote officially to the presidency against those appointments and that civil servants could not be blamed for the behaviour of party activists seeking political favours.
