Courts across the country have resumed work after the Judicial Service Staff Association (JUSSAG) called off their two-day strike.
The strike was to protest the non payment of their allowances which they say was being withheld by government.

Citi News’ Fred Djabanor who visited some courts in the Greater Accra region reported that work at the various courts had resumed.
He however reported that the usual busy activities at the court was “not seen today.”
According to him, most people who went to the court “did not really have their cases heard because of the two-day-strike.”
“They needed to reschedule all the cases which weren’t heard to different dates so people were coming in to sort out the new dates the cases will be heard.”
He said his visits to the various courts show that work was going on normally.
Meanwhile, Latif Mahama has also been visiting some courts in the Upper West Region and reports that work has resumed.
A registrar at the Kumasi High Court in the Ashanti Region, Osman Yawuza also told Citi News that they have received communications from their leaders to resume work.
“The executives at the Regional level have communicated to almost all the rest of the regions and we have the JUSSAG platform where we communicate with each other so immediately it is called off everybody who raised the platform will see that we have resumed.”
