Accra, Nov. 3, GNA – The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) says its nationwide strike will continue until revised conditions of service in line with CI 141, Regulation 25, are implemented.
The association maintained that all outstanding issues must be resolved before the industrial action can be called off.
Mr Samuel Afotey Otu, President of JUSAG, said this in Accra when he briefed journalists on the ongoing impasse between the association and government.
He said that the association would not suspend the strike until the agreement was signed and the revised conditions of service duly presented to its members.
Mr Otu said JUSAG and the Senior Staff Association were awaiting a decision by the National Executive Council (NEC), while JUSAG leaders prepared to engage the Ministry of Labour, Jobs and Employment on the matter.
”If the association’s demands are not met by the close of day, the strike shall apply to all courts and offices of the Judiciary.
”We want the agreement to be signed and same given us. We want them to comply with the law.
”We want all outstanding issues to be addressed, ” he said.
Mr Otu stressed that the strike would remain in force until the association directed otherwise.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance has directed the payment of reviewed salary arrears owed to JUSAG members and the lower court bench in two instalments.
The first five-month tranche is expected to be paid in November 2026, with the outstanding balance scheduled for payment in December 2026.
JUSAG declared an indefinite nationwide strike on October 30, 2026, effective November 2, 2026, over delays in the approval and payment of reviewed salaries and allowances covering a 10-month period.
A GNA visit to some courts in Accra observed a disruption of judicial services, with several court premises closed and security personnel stationed at locked entrances.
