Speaking on a local radio station, Gyampo expressed disappointment over the government’s inaction, stating that no new solutions have been offered despite the ongoing crisis.
Prof. Gyampo also touched on the ongoing strike by Organized Labour, which is affecting multiple sectors.
He revealed that the government had attempted to impose the suspension of the strike across all unions. However, this move was opposed by UTAG (University Teachers Association of Ghana), which has decided to go on an indefinite strike, positioning itself as the “conscience of Ghanaians.”
UTAG’s decision to continue with the strike, despite government pressure, has garnered attention for its defiance and commitment to advocating for workers’ rights.
Gyampo made a public plea regarding financial matters related to the strike, urging that any funds collected in his name for the strike be returned to him, emphasizing transparency and accountability in such activities.
The statements come amidst broader discussions about the effectiveness of the government’s policies on both galamsey and industrial action.
With the strike ongoing, Gyampo’s comments highlight the tense atmosphere between labor unions and government authorities, as well as growing frustration over perceived governmental inaction.
