The twelve labour unions demanding the release of their tier two pension contributions are calling for special investigations into the Temporary Pensions Fund Account at the Bank of Ghana (BoG).<\/p>\n
This follows revelations of government\u2019s delay in paying over GH200 million into the account.<\/p>\n
They have also questioned the rationale behind government\u2019s delay in submitting a comprehensive plan aimed at resolving their grievances.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”neWkRTKEn3CbGASremEjDUB9IpCYdbc8″]The unions declared an indefinite strike to compel government to release their tier two pension contributions into their registered schemes.<\/p>\n
The strike was however called after the government secured a court injunction against the striking unions<\/p>\n
The spokesperson for the unions, Reynolds Ofosu Tenkorang told Citi News<\/strong> workers are fully aware \u201cthat all along, government was in arrears.\u201d<\/p>\n According to him, what seems to be indebtedness on the part of government should be investigated because \u201cmaybe it [the money] has been sent somewhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt should be investigated for us to know whether it is in arrears or they have paid the money elsewhere,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n On the issue of the proposals, Mr. Ofosu Tenkorang indicated that the leadership of the 12 unions \u201chaven\u2019t received the proposals from government. Eight days on and we haven\u2019t received anything.\u201d<\/p>\n He claimed that the unions are being urged on to go on strike again \u201cbut we are law abiding citizens so we are waiting.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Efua Idan Osam\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The twelve labour unions demanding the release of their tier two pension contributions are calling for special investigations into the Temporary Pensions Fund Account at the Bank of Ghana (BoG).
