Some Communicators of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti Region have declared a sit-down strike.
The action, according to them, takes effect from Monday, January 30, 2023, until further notice.
The aggrieved party communicators, who have bemoaned neglect from party executives, say the action is to press home their demands with regards to their welfare.
A statement issued by the Regional Communications Director, Dennis Kwakwa, has asked members to comply with the directive accordingly.
This comes on the back of a similar action in May 2021, due to which they boycotted radio and TV programmes to signal to appropriate quarters their plight for immediate intervention.
