Members of the Junior Veterinary Surgeons Association, are asking the Ministry of Agriculture and the Veterinary Council to post them to enable them resume work.<\/p>\n
They are also demanding the payment of their allowances which are in arrears.<\/p>\n
Members of the Association are livid over what they say is the calculated attempt to delay the posting of three batches of veterinary doctors.<\/p>\n
About forty-five of the affected doctors are also yet to receive their allowances after completing their housemanship in 2016.<\/p>\n
The Treasurer of the Association, Dr. Emmanuel Koduah, told Citi News<\/strong> a further delay will compel them to resort to other legal means to get their grievances addressed.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”3AgHUJyBSQAmntUn6hmI5fWJGewVXhtp”]\u201cThey are supposed to give us our license but they are aloof . They are not responding to anything just because they felt that we threatened them that if they do not respond to us , we will hit the courts about the whole issue. The leaders of the Council became angry that we wanted to exercise our franchise.”<\/p>\n “We wrote a letter to them and they told us that yes, we have a case, but our letter was not strong enough. We are not giving any ultimatum, but they should act with dignity. They should respect the position and call the doctors involved and post them.\u201d<\/p>\n Attempts to get a response from the Veterinary Council and the Agric Ministry have so far been unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
