They declared a strike in October 2016 to protest against government’s failure to meet their demands for improved conditions of service.

According to the Attorneys, President’s personal intervention in the matter and his assurance that their concerns will be address informed their decision to call off the strike.

The Minister of Justice and Attorney General nominee, Gloria Akuffo at her vetting over the weekend confirmed that President Akufo-Addo had intervened and persuaded the Attorneys to resume work.

She said, “the President himself has intervened in the matter and has succeeded in persuading them to go back to work.

The Attorney-General’s office described the strike as illegal, and further directed the State Attorneys to return to work by Tuesday, January  3, 2017, or be “considered as having vacated post.”

The Association of State Attorneys, however, insisted their strike is legal, noting that it was pursuant to a statutory notice under Section 159 (b) of Act 651.

The attorneys also blamed the National Labour Commission for the impasse, explaining that the Commission should have gone to the High Court to compel government to improve their conditions of service.

The reliefs that were being sought by State Attorneys are:
