  "account": "Dr Isaac Bampoe Addo, the Executive Secretary of the Civil and Local Government Staff Association of Ghana (CLOGSAG), passed away on Friday, August 21, 2026. The loss is deeply felt as he was known for his vibrant spirit, passion, and articulate presentations. Just days before his passing, Dr Bampoe Addo participated in a stakeholder engagement at the Lancaster Hotel, where the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) discussed the establishment of the Independent Public Emoluments Commission (IPEC). His contributions to the discussions were invaluable, showcasing his dedication to public servants and Ghana's public institutions. Dr Bampoe Addo was not only a leader in Ghana's labour relations but also a committed advocate for fairness and workers' welfare. His passing marks a significant loss to CLOGSAG, Organised Labour, the public service, and Ghana as a whole. The FWSC extends its condolences to his family, CLOGSAG leadership, and the entire membership, praising his invaluable contributions during his final engagement. Farewell, Dr Isaac Bampoe Addo, your service, advocacy, and contributions will forever be remembered.",
