The Controller and Accountant General Department has agreed to pay the guide and transport allowances of the members of the Ghana Union of Disabled Workers by the end of January 2017.<\/p>\n

The leadership of the union, operating under the Ghana federation of disability organisation, picketed at the Controller and Accountant General\u2019s department yesterday [Thursday] to protest against the non-payment of these allowances.<\/p>\n

According to the union, even though the Ministry of Finance had approved these allowances, the Controller and Accountant General\u2019s department had refused to them.<\/p>\n

But speaking to Citi News<\/strong>, the President for the union, Yaw Ofori Debrah said the picketing was successful as their demand has now been met.<\/p>\n

According to Mr. Debrah, the Head of Payroll at the department was not aware of the union’s grievances\u00a0but he was able\u00a0but some headway was made at the end of the picketing<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Head of Payroll, Mr. George Baah engaged us and we went through the discussion relating to the problems that we presented and according to him, he was not in the know about our grievances.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor that matter, he was able to bring the staff who were dealing with such matters so, at the end of the day, we have achieved what we set out to look for, that is getting our allowances paid by the end of January,\u201d Mr. Debrah said.<\/p>\n
