The teachers warned in a press release signed by General Secretary Thomas Tanko Musah on Wednesday, 7 December 2022 that it would be “suicidal for any government to touch our funds and unruffle our teachers financially, both in active service and retirement”.
“We, hereby, inform our members that the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) have not been invited to any discussion on Domestic Debt Exchange and our stance remains unwavering”.
“We wish to assure them further that their contributions and savings remain intact, and that we shall fiercely and vigorously resist any attempt to touch the said contributions and savings by the government under any Debt Exchange, Debt Structural Adjustment or whatever measure which would short-change our members, both in active service and retirement.”
The IMF bailout initiative by the government has generated a lot of debate due to strategic measures taken in the 2023 budget statement presented to Parliament.
