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 &#8220;conscience of Ghanaians.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>UTAG\u2019s decision to continue with the strike, despite government pressure, has garnered attention for its defiance and commitment to advocating for workers&#8217; rights.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>The statements come amidst broader discussions about the effectiveness of the government\u2019s policies on both galamsey and industrial action. <\/p>\n<p>With the strike ongoing, Gyampo\u2019s comments highlight the tense atmosphere between labor unions and government authorities, as well as growing frustration over perceived governmental inaction.<\/p>\n<p>Source<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LISTEN: Prof. Ransford Gyampo Demands Return of Money Collected in His Name for Strike News Hub Creator1h Prof. Ransford Gyampo, a prominent academic and activist, criticized the government\u2019s lack of new strategies to tackle the persistent issue of illegal mining, known as galamsey.
