It is unfair to demand sacking of our CEO – FWSC tells CLOGSAG members

The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has described calls to sack its Chief Executive as unfortunate and unfair.

The Commission has thus rejected calls for the CEO of the Commission to be sacked.

“We therefore consider the call by CLOGSAG for the sacking of the Chief Executive of FWSC as unfortunate and unfair” part of a press release dated Spetember 24 stated.

The Commission has therefore called on members of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association (CLOGSAG) to suspend its intended strike and participate in a stakeholder discussion to resolve their grievances.

CLOGSAG is demanding that the FWSC should reverse the over 900 CLOGSAG members who have been migrated to the Ghana TVET and also dismiss its CEO.

In the press statement signed by the Head of Public Affairs, Emelia Ennin, the FWSC said it acknowledges the concerns of CLOGSAG.

“While acknowledging CLOGSAG’s concerns, the FWSC wishes to state emphatically that its migration data does not show any employee downgraded from level 21 to level 19”

“It did not request any employee to write a licensure examination, neither did it convert any Civil Servant into a teacher as that lies outside its mandate”.

“Providing options for interested employees to opt out and return to the Civil Service is not within the FWSC’s mandate. In view of that the FWSC has requested the Management of the Ghana TVET to develop an option form and ensure that employees who express interest to return to the Civil Service are allowed to do so,” the Commission said.
