Labour Minister Dr Rashid Pelpuo says government is shocked and worried by the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association's (GRNMA) decision to embark on a nationwide strike without prior engagement with his office. "Well, we are more than shocked.
We are disturbed.
We are worried that they could go into a decision of strike without much talk with us," he said Monday night on JoyNews' PM Express. "For a moment, you hear nurses are going on strike." The Wa Central MP said the strike, which has disrupted public healthcare services across the country, came without adequate effort from GRNMA leadership to consult his outfit. "I had a chat with the president of the nurses and midwives association," Dr Pelpuo revealed.
