Minister of State for Government Communications, , has questioned the legal basis of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG)'s demand for the removal of the Registrar of the Births and Deaths Registry, Samuel Adom Botchway.
Addressing a press conference on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, he stated that the association had not provided a legal justification for its request. "For quite some time, CLOGSAG has been engaging the government and insisting that the Registrar of the Births and Deaths Registry should be removed and replaced by a civil servant.
However, despite their demands, they have not been able to indicate the legal basis for this position.
The government has enormous respect for organized labor, including CLOGSAG, and remains committed to engaging in dialogue to find amicable solutions to any impasse or dispute that may arise," he noted.
