Judges, magistrates’ strike looms over salary disparities
Justices of the High Courts and Magistrate Courts
across the country have threatened to embark on an
industrial action over government’s failure to
address issues with their salaries.

According to the judges, the 10 per cent increment
in salaries they demanded from government had
fallen on deaf ears, whereas the demands of the
justices of the superior courts had been attended
to.

Accra News reported on Friday 11 November that
High Court judges and the magistrates, after a
half-hour meeting in Accra on Friday gave the
government up to Monday November 21 to address
their issue, otherwise they would embark on a
strike action.

According to Accra News’ Ama Brako Ampofo, who
reported from the court premises, the judges were
furious because all their efforts to get the
Attorney General and the Minister of Finance to
address their issue had been futile.
