Tension Brews Over Unpaid Salaries At Chemu Senior High

Tension is brewing among teachers at Chemu Senior High School in Tema over unpaid salaries for the month of February 2016.

According to some teachers who spoke to News Ghana Monday morning said most public sector workers across the country received messages from the Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD) and their various banks of their salaries.

Our source further hinted that not a single of the over one hundred (100) teachers and the non-teaching staff of the school had received any notification from the CAGD and their banks.

This situation has generated anger among the teaching staff who most of them have decided to abstain from the various classes.

Most teachers who spoke on anonymity said they will be absenting themselves from school from March 1, 2016 till they were paid.

Attempts to contact the headmistress proved futile as she was seen to be discussing the issue with some section of the teaching body.

News Ghana has gathered that the welfare association of the school was about convening an emergency meeting to discuss the matter and report the case to the relevant authorities for prompt action.

More soon.
