GNAT CALL FOR THE RESIGNATION OF EXECUTIVES

Members of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) have threatened to seek a court injunction to freeze the associations’ accounts. The decision stems from what the members say gross display and failure of their executives from seeking their interest instead of allowing their parochial interest to take manipulate their negotiations.
The members of GNAT say leadership of GNAT has failed so bad that their members have lost confidence in them and are calling on the executives to resign from their positions.
The teachers say that after several days of deliberations with government their leaders have failed to champion their course therefore their insistence to continue the strike until the issue is totally resolved.
The teachers have accused their leadership of distancing themselves from their action but rather flirting with government against the interest of the members.
The spokesperson of the Western Regional Branch of GNAT, Patrick Dzebu denied reports that they will return to the classroom soon adding that they have resolved to stay outside until the issue is addressed.

However, in Kumasi the group calling itself the ‘Association of Elite Teachers’ have taken the position to return to the classroom based on what they described at laudable assurance from government.
Meanwhile it looks like this association has clashed with the teachers as GNAT members described the group as unknown.
One of the members of GNAT, Vicky Asantewaa spoke to Adom news to confirm their continuous protest.

The situation was not different in the Eastern Region as GNAT members were still at home.
One of the GNAT teachers Oduro Amankwah debark claims that some members were teaching in the classroom.
