KsTU-TUTAG threatens strike, gives gov’t August ultimatum to pay post-retirement salary arrears
The Technical University Teachers’ Association of Ghana (TUTAG) at the Kumasi Technical University (KsTU) has threatened to withdraw its services if the government fails to settle the salary arrears of post-retirement contract faculty by the end of August 2026.
The Technical University Teachers’ Association of Ghana (TUTAG) at Kumasi Technical University (KsTU) has warned of a potential withdrawal of services if the government fails to pay overdue salaries to post-retirement contract faculty members by the end of August 2026. The issue has been ongoing since September 2025, with some faculty members going 12 months without payment.
Dr. Bismark Quarku Parker, the Chairman of the KsTU branch of TUTAG, called on key government officials to resolve the matter urgently. If the problem persists, the association may halt all academic activities, including examinations, result submissions, project supervision, and graduations. The affected faculty members have also expressed their concern over the inconsistency in salary payments, which they say is negatively impacting their livelihoods.
