Audio By Carbonatix

Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSSAG) say they will withdraw their services in protest of their unpaid salaries.

The President of the Association, Alex Nartey, who announced the strike at a press conference Thursday, March 31, said the move is to ensure that “the disregard for our plight will be brought to an end”.

The Association say their demand for the implementation of consolidated salaries agreed and approved by the Judicial Council. The staffs say, after a "long wait and painful silence", they are left with no option than to strike.

The strike which takes effect Friday will see courts across the country grind to a halt.

This will the Association's third strike in 11 months. JUSSAG embarked on a strike on 19 May 2015. But Labour minister Haruna Iddrisu moved in to assure them, their allowances will be paid by the end of the month.

The judicial staff planned another strike for November 2015 which was called off at the last minute.
