Court proceedings have resumed after the Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) suspended its week-long strike. Among the cases returning to court is the trial of former National Service Authority Deputy Executive Director Gifty Oware-Mensah.
At Criminal Court 4 in Accra’s Law Court Complex, Oware-Mensah’s case is continuing, with the investigator still giving evidence.
The courts reopened after JUSAG said its discussions with the state had satisfactorily addressed its concerns, prompting the association to suspend its industrial action.
JUSAG is seeking, among other things, payment of 10 months of unpaid salary allowances and approval of revised conditions of service.
At the Law Court Complex, lawyers were seen meeting with clients as hearings took place in several courtrooms. In other courtrooms, court officers waited for cases to be called.
