However, Prof Gyampo took to his Facebook page and described the release as childish and urged the general public to disregard it.

“Please disregard this completely. It has no signature; it has no stamp. It is a childish attempt at clashing the leadership of UTAG with membership”.

“Some decisions were taken at two-day meeting. These were to be communicated and explained to members. Following such explanations and communications, members, though unhappy, have made very important suggestions and contributions that ought to be factored and incorporated into the decisions taken before they can be signed and released as agreements reached”.

Considering the action of Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, Prof Gyampo reiterated that the strike is not over until is over.

“The very important suggestions of our members are yet to be escalated to the NEC of UTAG and to the government’s side. So why this politically childish move to rush to create the impression that all is well? If the intention was to leak this fake release just to test our pulse, then our members have responded. I have monitored their comments, It is not over until it is over”.
