<\/p>\n

\n

The Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU) has vehemently urged the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to promptly release all frozen salaries owed to its members.<\/p>\n

The Association alleged that the OSP has withheld the salaries of more than 400 teachers during its investigation of ghost names on the government\u2019s payroll.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Citi News, the General Secretary of TEWU, Mark Denkyira, expressed dismay over the lack of dialogue between the OSP and labour unions regarding this matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Special Prosecutor has requested that they should not be paid. That for us is a cause to worry. No communication has gone on between the union and the Special Prosecutor, and no communication has gone on between the Special Prosecutor and the individuals involved, and as union leaders, we are expressing concern,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

TEWU underscores that the OSP\u2019s actions are contrary to the national interest, emphasizing that the Ghana Education Service, as the direct employer of these teachers, should have been consulted prior to initiating such measures.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not in the best interest of this nation for him to do what he is doing. If there are any issues, our direct employers are the Ghana Education Service. And we expect that the Ghana Education Service will institute some measure to indicate that, perhaps for certain reasons, you cannot earn your salary, then the people are made aware,\u201d the General Secretary reiterated.<\/p>\n

Mark Denkyira, the General Secretary of TEWU, issued a resolute call to the OSP, demanding the immediate unfreezing of salaries owed to its members.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot out of the blue, an instruction is given to banks not to pay certain individuals. We will not accept that, and we want the Special Prosecutor to take this as a matter of urgency to release their salaries; otherwise, we will be compelled to do what the unions know how to do,\u201d he concluded assertively.<\/p>\n
