The National Coordinator of the group, Asare Danquah Jefferson, claimed that they have not received the salaries and arrears due them for at least six to 19 months, thereby plunging them into severe economic hardships.
The nurses and midwives who have been given the green light to demonstrate by the police will gather at the Kumasi Cultural Centre at 8:00am.

Mr. Danquah Jefferson further noted that other factors that also influenced their decisions include the non-payment of SSNIT contributions in all the number of years of work by government, reduction of their salary at the time of payment and number of nurses working for two to six months without appointment letters.
The group would submit their petition to government through the Ashanti Regional Minister after the demonstration, adding that they would demonstrate in the other regional capitals of the country if government fails to address the concerns.
