There seems to be a crack in the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG), as its strike over the appointment of Samuel Adom Botchway as the Registrar of the Births and Deaths Registry.

The Local Government Service Workers' Union (LGSWU) has announced its decision not to take part in the strike action.

In a statement sighted by GhanaWeb, the service indicated that it made the decision not to take part in the strike because it was unnecessary at the moment.

It indicated that the appointment of the Registrar of the Births and Deaths Registry in 2022 is still being challenged in court and the only way to resolve the current impact is through negotiation and further engagement. "It is important to recall that in 2022, CLOGSAG filed a suit at the High Court, challenging the appointment of Mrs Henrietta Lamptey as Registrar of the Births and Deaths Registry.
