NEW JUSAG EXECUTIVE SWORN IN AT HOHOE (PAGE 21, FEB 2, 2010)

A SEVEN-MEMBER executive of the Volta Regional branch of the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has been sworn into office at a ceremony at Hohoe for a three-year term.
The executive has Mr Francis Dimake, a court registrar at Hohoe, as its Chairman.
The other members are Mr Robert Fiadzoe, Vice-chairman; Mr Leonard Agbobli, Secretary and Mr Richard Tordzro; Assistant Secretary.
Mr George Bush Seddoh, Treasurer; Ms Bridget Tsigbe and Mr John Otoo as executive members.
Addressing the delegates, the General Secretary of JUSAG, Mr Felix Eddie Quansah, called on the government to come out with measures to cushion workers till the time the Single Spine Salary Structure is implemented.
He stated that although it was on paper that the scheme would be paid in June, this year, it had been realised the actual payment would be made in July.
“If this is so, then as prices of goods will not wait for the scheme to be implemented before jumping up,the government should move in to save workers who would be at the mercy of traders,” he stressed.
Mr Quansah touched on the deplorable conditions of service in the Judicial Service, stressing that retired workers found it difficult to go home with the little packages they got for many years of service.
He expressed the hope that the launching of the Provident Fund would put more money into their pockets.
Mr Quansah commended the new executive members who would be in office for the next three years for taking up the tasks to champion the cause of their fellow workers.
The newly elected chairman of the association, appealed to the workers to give the executive the necessary support in the execution of their duties.
