The Coalition of Unpaid Nurses and Midwives Ghana has accused the government of erasing validated salary arrears from its members’ payment vouchers without making any corresponding payments. The development has been described as “deeply troubling” by the coalition, which is demanding immediate accountability.
According to the coalition, the government’s action has left many nurses and midwives in a difficult financial situation. The coalition’s spokesperson expressed disappointment and frustration, stating that the government’s actions are unacceptable.
The nurses and midwives are calling on the government to take immediate action to rectify the situation and ensure that their salary arrears are paid. The coalition has threatened to take further action if their demands are not met.
The issue highlights the ongoing challenges faced by healthcare workers in Ghana, who have been advocating for better working conditions and compensation. The coalition’s demands are likely to put pressure on the government to address the issue.
The government has not made any public comment on the issue, but the coalition is urging the public to join them in demanding accountability and justice for the affected nurses and midwives.
The outcome of this situation is being closely watched, and it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the coalition’s demands.
