May Day Celebration Thanksgiving Service By Civil And Local Government Staff Association Ghana (CLOGSAG),Was Held On Saturday 1st May, 2021.At CLOGSAG Auditorium.Accra Ghana.
Mr. Isaac bampoe Addo ,executive director secretary in his presentation, said. "Association appreciates the commitment of President Nana Addo
Dankwa Akufo Addo to decentralization and his desire to have District
Chief Executives elected.Though laudable and must be supported to
become a reality, CLOGSAG believes that election of District Chief
Executives must be devoid of partisanship. The partisanship nature of
our elections has encouraged people to look at issues from political
party perspective and CLOGSAG is of the opinion that neutrality is a solution to this myopic and divisive approach.
"Our investigation has revealed that SSNIT has been placed under the
Financial Services Division of the Ministry of Finance.
However, the National Pensions Act, 2008 (Act 766) and Occupational
and Pension Schemes. (General) regulations, 2011 (L.I. 1990) clearly
show that the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations is the
Minister for Pensions.
For the avoidance of the doubt, Sections 13 and 211".Mr.Isaac Bampoe said.
"It is evident from the foregoing that the Minister for Employment and
Labour Relations is the Minister for Pensions.
Any supervisory role the Ministry of Finance is playing in relation to
SSNIT apart from determining allowances for Board members and
committee members is not supported by Act 766 and, therefore,
anomalous or illegal.
CLOGSAG is serving notice that should this anomaly persist, the
Association would not only petition the Speaker of Parliament but use
other legitimate means to stop this practice".
