Accra:The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has announced that its nationwide strike will persist until revised conditions of service, as outlined in CI 141, Regulation 25, are enforced.
According to Ghana News Agency, JUSAG has emphasized that all unresolved matters must be addressed before the strike can be ended. Mr. Samuel Afotey Otu, President of JUSAG, conveyed this position during a press briefing in Accra, highlighting the association's demand for signed agreements and the presentation of revised conditions to its members.
JUSAG and the Senior Staff Association are currently awaiting a decision from the National Executive Council (NEC) while preparing to engage with the Ministry of Labour, Jobs and Employment. Mr. Otu warned that if their demands are unmet by the end of the day, the strike will extend to all courts and judiciary offices.
The Ministry of Finance has directed that reviewed salary arrears owed to JUSAG members and the lower court bench be paid in two installments, with the first set for November 2026 and the balance in December 2026. This comes after JUSAG declared an indefinite nationwide strike on October 30, 2026, effective November 2, 2026, due to delays in salary and allowance approvals.
A Ghana News Agency visit to some courts in Accra noted a disruption in judicial services, with several court premises closed and security personnel present at the entrances.
