The Judicial Service Staff
Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has welcomed the decision of president Nana Addo
Dankwa Akufo-Addo to approve the reviewed salaries and other allowances of its
members.
Members of the Association have
been demonstrating against what they termed as the government’s lack of
interest to approve the agreed terms which led to an indefinite strike on
May 24, 2023.

The Association said its proposals
to the government on the implementation of the approved cost of living
allowance for members were not urgently attended to and subsequently appealed
to the Chief Justice, Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkonoo to
intervene.
The Association indicated that its
engagement with the Chief Justice yielded positive results with an affirmation
that the president has approved the reviewed salaries and other allowances
entitled to members.
The association in a statement
indicated that though the process and engagement with the Chief Justice had
been challenging, “we are glad that her ingenuity and exceptional leadership
with the support of other stakeholders led to the conclusion of the engagement
on the 15th of June 2023 with an understanding that implementation of the
reviewed salaries will take effect in July 2023.”
“We are reassured by the letter of
Her Ladyship Honourable Chief Justice dated 13th July 2023 which confirms that
His Excellency the President of Ghana has approved the new salary structure,
and implementation will be done in the month of July 2023 as indicated by the
Ministry of Finance at the close of engagement,” the group further noted in the
statement.
