Legal Practitioners working with the AG\u2019s Department in Ashanti and Brong Ahafo Regions have since Wednesday declared a sit down strike, citing non-payment of certain allowances for almost two years.<\/p>\n<p>The aggrieved lawyers have refused to attend to legal attitudes until their clothing, leave and fuel allowances, which have been in arrears for over two years now, are paid to them. The angry lawyers claimed that since January 2013, the Justice Ministry has not paid them their Fuel, Leave and Clothing Allowances despite several appeals.<\/p>\n<p>The allowances, according to them, are part of their remuneration which they are supposed to enjoy but since early last year, all efforts to get the government to honour payments have yielded no results.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source: Chronicle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Government and aggrieved lawyers with\u00a0the Attorney General\u2019s Department in the Ashanti and Brong Ahafo regions are expected to hold talks on Saturday\u00a0in a bid to convince the lawyers to suspend their strike action.
