A video has surfaced of an aggrieved teacher who has not been paid for the past ten months angrily sharing his frustration over how police officers drove them out of the GES premises while they were picketing to demand their pay.
According to the teacher, they have not been paid for ten months, and he came all the way from the Northern Region to picket, only for the Police officer to threaten to beat them if they do not leave.
In a viral video, the infuriated teacher stated, “Ten months without salary, do you think you’re the one to teach me what to say? I came from the Northern Region. I didn’t travel all the way to Accra just to make noise. I came because my employer hasn’t paid me, and I’m rightfully complaining. Then you bring in a police officer who claims he will beat us. He said if we cross the red line, he will beat us”.
He continued, “I have gone to university and worked for ten months without pay. I am here to speak up, and you are threatening me? He didn’t speak well. If he thinks he is tough, he should take off the uniform and see what happens. I only respect the uniform”.
The teacher added, “We pay rent, we eat, we owe, and creditors keep calling us to settle our debts. We are simply here to tell our employer our grievances, and instead, you call in the police to threaten us.
“You an SHS-level police officer threatening a university graduate who hasn’t been paid for ten months. If you, as a police officer, go two months without pay, you will form an association and storm this place.”
Meanwhile, Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that efforts are underway to resolve concerns raised by newly posted teachers who picketed on Monday, June 23, over delays in salary payments and staff ID issuance..
According to the GES, the Ministry of Education has requested an extension of the expired financial clearance from the Finance Ministry.
