Ranking Member on Parliament's Health Committee, Dr.
Nana Ayew Afriyie, has pointed fingers at the National Labour Commission (NLC) and the Ministry of Finance for the ongoing strike by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA).
Speaking on JoyFM's News Night on Monday, June 9, Dr.
Afriyie said the NLC failed in its duty to intervene promptly when the GRNMA gave notice of the industrial action, despite nurses being classified under essential services by law. "You have to blame the Labour Commission because the Act says that these are essential services; they don't have to go on strike.
