The Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG), has directed all staff of the Births and Deaths Registry nationwide to stay at home starting Tuesday, 17 June 2025, citing an increasingly hostile work environment under the Acting Registrar, Samuel Adom Botchway.
The directive was contained in a letter signed by CLOGSAG Executive Secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo, addressed to the Minister for Labour, Jobs and Employment, and copied to key state institutions including the Office of the Head of Civil Service (OHCS) and the Office of the Head of Local Government Service (OHLGS), CLOGSAG accused Mr Botchway of persistent misconduct despite prior petitions and negotiations to resolve ongoing leadership issues at the Registry.
According to the Association, Mr Botchway has been “acting irresponsibly” by unilaterally posting and reassigning staff across the Civil and Local Government Services without requisite authorisation.
He is also accused of verbally assaulting staff and fostering an “uncongenial atmosphere” at the workplace through the use of constant threats. “These actions have rendered the working environment unsafe and intolerable,” stated the letter signed by CLOGSAG Executive Secretary, Mr Isaac Bampoe Addo.
