On this note, I’d like to read the petition that is supposed to have been presented to the Speaker of Parliament. The Speaker wrote to us to tell us that there are Standing Orders in parliament that we do not know and those don’t allow him to receive our petition. Gborgbortsi also explained how the Speaker redirected them, advising them on how they could go about getting their petition presented. A little over a hundred members of the Aggrieved Public Sector Workers hit the streets Wednesday, August 18, 2021, to register their disgust at the proposed 4% increment of salaries for public workers, stating that it is nothing to write home about. The group wants a 25% increment for this year and a 35% increment for next year, as opposed to the 4% and 7% for this year and next year respectively.
