CLOGSAG Sets Aside Dismissal Decision, Reinstates Two Prominent Members

The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG), has unanimously set aside its decision to dismiss two of its members.

In a formal notice dated September 29, 2026, and signed by the Acting President, Mr. Samuel Antwi, the Association announced the reinstatement of Mr. Emmanuel Acquah and Mr. Ernest Tagoe, who until their dismissal were Acting 1st National Trustee and Acting National Treasurer, respectively.

The two prominent officers, who many described as serving diligently, had described their dismissal as a travesty of justice, stating that it was done without merit and in violation of the rules of natural justice.

Their dismissal letters were signed by the erstwhile Acting President, Mr. Emmanuel Otoo, whose locus was being challenged by the two officers in a petition to the NEC in 2024. Consequently, Mr. Acquah and Mr. Tagoe sought justice in court, and the case is still pending.

In an attempt not only to end the legal tussle but also to save the resources of the Association, the NEC of CLOGSAG deemed it prudent to unanimously reverse the decision to dismiss its two officers on Tuesday, thereby reinstating them.

According to the letter, a NEC meeting was held via Zoom on September 29, 2026, to reconsider the matter.

“We are pleased to inform you that NEC unanimously set aside its decision dated 30th November, 2024, which dismissed you as members of the Association,” the letter stated.

The Association further clarified that their membership of CLOGSAG is now unbroken, subject to the Constitution, rules and regulations of the Association.

“Accordingly, your membership of CLOGSAG is unbroken, subject to the Constitution, rules and regulations of the Association. Therefore, your rights and responsibilities as members of CLOGSAG are restored, and you are to conduct yourselves in accordance with the Constitution and directives of the Association,” the statement added.

The current development is seen as a step towards unity and reconciliation within the Association, which operates under the motto: “Unity and Equal Rights.” In an interview with the media, the two reinstated officers expressed delight that justice had prevailed and thanked the NEC for its thoughtful decision.
