-

Some Veterinary doctors and nurses calling itself Coalition of Unemployed Bonded Diploma Nurses have threatened to march to the Flagstaff House if they are not given clearance to work at the various Agric and health institutions in the country.

The nurses and veterinary doctors numbering about 500 at the press conference in Sunyani said they had not received any postings after completing their national service since 2011.

Spokesperson for the group, Daniel Amoako told Adom News’ Koofori Bossu Denkye that the leadership of the group has met several times with the officials of the Food and Agric Ministry but nothing fruitful had come out of the deliberations.

According to him, the Agric Ministry has failed to get them posted.

Mr Amoako said they have been waiting home for the past years but nothing has been done therefore would resort to protest to get their demands resolved.

“As bonded Veterinary Technicians and nurses, we cannot work without salaries after our service. But here is the case those concerned are refusing to post us to the appropriate facilities to render our services to the nation,” he said.

He continued that “We were promised that our concerns would be addressed but for some years now as I speak to you, nothing has been done even after several meetings” he said.

Mr Amoako said the Agric Ministry has failed to heed their demands and therefore they called on President Akufo-Addo to intervene.
