Members of the Union of Trainee Nurses and Midwives, Ghana (UTNMG) have threatened to vote against the governing New Patriotic Party in the upcoming polls for neglecting them.
According to the Union, the government under the guidance of President Akufo-Addo has refused to pay them allowances for 19 months, pushing them into hardship, hence their decision.
This was contained in a press release signed by the President of the Union of Trainee Nurses and Midwives, Ghana, Agbeti Robert Immortal.
“The government has demonstrated their consistent failed promises to pay the allowance and that won’t be accommodated this time. Trainees will hold politicians accountable, and the outcome of this year’s election will reflect the government’s neglect of their welfare”, he said.
He indicated the failure to pay the arrears is a clear case of “economic injustice” and “betrayal of trust”, hence demanding prompt payment of the arrears by the government.
