Accra (Greater Accra), 14th April ?99 ? Negotiations between the Central Management Board (CMB) of the new salaries and wages policy and some social partners are expected to be completed by the end of the week. Mr Augustus K. Yankey, Chairman of the CMB said in Accra on Wednesday that only two major hurdles are yet to be cleared by the negotiating teams. The Judicial Service Staff, Ghana National Registered Nurses Association (GNRNA), Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), Civil Servants' Association of Ghana (CSAG) and seven unionised organisations were expected to discuss in detail the import of the final document with the CMB and government representatives. Mr Yankey said so far the atmosphere during the negotiations has been cordial and frank and commended all the groups for exhibiting a high sense of maturity and tolerance. He described the decision of the Greater Accra branch of the Ghana National Association of Teachers to embark on a sit down strike over the delay in the implementation of the new policy as an expression of their frustrations and fears. Mr Yankey gave the assurance that the CMB and government will soon come out with the tentative date for the actual implementation of the new salary scheme.
