A leadership crisis is brewing within the Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG), as a group of members is demanding accountability over allegations of financial misconduct involving top executives.
The group, known as the Aggrieved CLOGSAG Members, is calling for the immediate resignation of the Association’s Executive Secretary, Isaac Bampoe Addo, and the President, pending the outcome of investigations into the allegations.
In a statement signed by National Public Relations Officer Prince Latif Oyekunle, the group said stepping aside by the leadership was necessary to ensure transparency and protect the integrity of ongoing investigations.
At the centre of the controversy are claims of alleged double salary payments involving the Executive Secretary, who is said to be drawing salaries from both CLOGSAG and the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department.
The group also alleged that GH¢500,000 was withdrawn from CLOGSAG’s Access Bank account in April 2024 under questionable circumstances.
Further concerns were raised about alleged unauthorised deductions from members’ Pempasie Tier Three pension contributions, which the group says may violate the National Pensions Act, 2008 (Act 766).
The aggrieved members noted that petitions had already been submitted to the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) and other investigative agencies in March 2025.
They further referenced reports that Mr Bampoe Addo had been briefly detained by EOCO in April 2026 and later granted bail, describing it as part of ongoing accountability processes.
The group is urging EOCO to carry out a thorough and impartial investigation, insisting that the rule of law must be seen to apply without favour.
They have also called on government institutions to suspend official dealings with the current CLOGSAG leadership until fresh elections are held to install new executives.
Meanwhile, members are being encouraged to participate actively in upcoming sub-regional and regional elections within the association as tensions continue to rise over governance and financial transparency.
