The Civil and Local Government Staff Association (CLOGSAG) has appealed to President Mahama to scrap agencies such as the Technical, Vocational Education Training (TVET) and Commission for Technical and Vocational Educational Training (COTVET) since they duplicate functions of the Civil Service.
According to CLOGSAG, the Civil Service as part of its functions, performs technical and vocational training and it was hived off, which has made some ministries ineffective.
Executive Secretary of CLOGSAG, Isaac Bampoe Addo spoke exclusively with our labour affairs correspondent Daniel opoku in reaction to the recently announced merger of some ministries by President John Mahama. "The President should also look at services that are being hived off from the Civil Service, I think it is wrong is a duplication, is just creating roles so those two must be halted," he said.
According to Mr Bampoe Addo the agencies are a waste of government resources. "…TVET and COTVET they are really unnecessary, just to create another bureaucracy…these are institutions that did not exist they have their mandate but the whole thing was done haphazardly no recourse to the councils involved," Mr Bampoe Addo added.
