Jurors in Ghana have embarked on an indefinite strike in response to the government’s inability to pay their allowances.
The jurors clarified that their decision stems from the non-payment of their February 2023 allowance, along with outstanding payments from July 2023 to May 2024, amounting to 10 months’ worth of arrears.
In a statement, they argue that this situation has placed a significant burden on their finances, forcing them to take this severe action.
The jurors expressed disappointment over the government’s failure to fulfil its promise of payment in May, emphasising that the current circumstances have made it untenable for them to continue covering their transportation costs to and from the court premises.
