Teachers’ strike: Government has funds, but processes are causing delays – Education Committee Vice Chair

Speaking on Joy FM's Top Story on Tuesday, October 6, Mr Kumah said the Education Committee has been monitoring the dispute between government and the pre-tertiary teacher unions and has engaged stakeholders in an effort to help resolve the impasse.

The Vice Chairman of Parliament’s Education Committee, Joseph Kumah, says government has funds to meet its financial obligations to teachers, but administrative processes are contributing to delays in settling some of the outstanding payments.

Mr Kumah said Parliament’s Education Committee recognises the concerns of the teachers and believes they deserve to receive commitments made to them.
