Concerned Staff of the Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD) have threatened to take a series of actions if its management and the Ministry of Finance (MoF) fail to pay their allowances.
The group claims that its members have not been paid their honoraria for 2021 and 2022.
They also threatened to boycott the upcoming national accounts validations and the Government of Ghana (GoG) monthly salary validations if their allowances were not paid.
The group stated in a petition to the Ministry of Finance and CAGD on Wednesday, January 10, 2023, saying “having been denied our 2021 honorarium for the first time in the history of CAGD, we the concerned staff of CAGD wish to unequivocally state that any attempts by the Management of CAGD and the Ministry of Finance (MoF) to once again deny our hardworking staff of this age-old ‘solace’ would not be tolerated”
“We are by this petition, serving notice to the CAGD Management and the MoF to, as a matter of urgency, get this matter addressed or we advise ourselves,” the aggrieved Concerned Staff of CAGD said.
“All staff of the sixteen Regions of Ghana are on this date, presenting this letter to our Management and the MoF through the Regional Directors of CAGD, calling on CAGD and MoF to do the needful by paying the two years (2021 & 2022) honorarium with immediate effect to avoid the repercussions of our intended actions,” it added.
