Nurses to sue NDC

A group calling itself Coalition of Unpaid Nurses has served notice to sue government over their unpaid salaries.

The nurses claim they have not received their salaries for the past fifteen months.

The group made up of over one thousand registered nurses says the situation has brought untold hardship on them and their families.

Speaking in an interview with Citi news, the National Coordinator for the group, Jefferson Asare Danquah indicated that they will also demand interest accrued on the unpaid salaries when the suit is finally filed.

He lamented that; “government have deliberately not paid our salaries for all these months of work and the little that he has paid only three months out of the 18 months. We’ve made follow ups …and all of them to no avail.”

He added that all efforts to get the monies paid them have proved futile.

“What we are doing is we have contacted a law firm, we are understudying our case, we are providing them with evidences,” he said.

Some months ago the Ghana Nurses and Midwives Trainees Association demonstrated against the government to protest the non-payment of their allowances.
