Tamale North MP, Alhassan Suhuyini
Individual from Parliament for Tamale North, Alhassan Suhuyini, has communicated fortitude with educators over their interest for the installment of Cost of Living Allowance (COLA).
As per him, the interest is fundamental, given the ongoing financial difficulty in the country.
Talking in a meeting on the AM Show on Thursday, he made sense of that, the costs of labor and products continue to raise, and thusly the requests by the disturbing educators are legitimate.
Mr Suhuyini, in this way, approached government to answer the complaints of the educators, who are presently in the fourth day of a cross country strike, which started on Monday, July 4, 2022.
"It is very much past due. The cost for many everyday items recompense, known as 'COLA', should be given in light of the fact that plainly, the cost for most everyday items has quite recently left everyone's control; and they merit it. Government should track down a way", he told have, Samuel Kojo Brace while sponsorship the requests by some striking educator associations in the country.
Right now, individuals from the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), the Teachers and Education Workers Union (TEWU), the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers (CCT) have all set out their apparatuses, in dissent of government's inability to pay them their 'COLA'.
Prior, the instructor associations gave government a June 30 final offer to pay the said stipend.
Be that as it may, government didn't reclaim this cutoff time convincing the educators to pronounce a strike at a public interview on July 4, 2022.
In the mean time, a crunch meeting between the administration of the four striking educator trade guilds and the public authority to determine the stalemate finished in an impasse.
The gathering was gone to by agents from the Ministry of Finance, the CEO of Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, Benjamin Arthur; Director-General of Ghana Education Service, Prof Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa; Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum and Minister of Employment and Labor Relations, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah.
An individual from the administration of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), Isaac Baah who was available at the gathering told JoyNews in a meeting that the "public authority came with basically nothing thus we finished the gathering".
Be that as it may, Defense Minister, Dominic Nitiwul, has begged laborers associations to practice persistence with the public authority as it haggles with the International Monetary Fund for a bailout.
As indicated by him, in the event that the public authority possessed the ability to fulfill their needs, there would be no requirement for the continuous strike activities a portion of the associations have set out on. He, subsequently, called for composed minds to win.
Talking on JoyNews' PM Express on Wednesday, Dominic Nitiwul said "This thought of I will protest, I will do this, on the off chance that administration has every one of the means they will give it to you. This administration has shown generally excellent confidence to everyone that assuming they have the means they will make it happen".
"They've never disregarded specialists, they've never yelled on laborers, they've haggled with laborers sincerely. I beg them that they ought to offer government the chance to haggle with them sincerely", he rebuked.
