The government has agreed to give striking Attorneys in the Legal Service some financial package, pending efforts to better their conditions of service.

The striking lawyers are from the rank of principal to assistant state attorneys.

A spokesman of the Association of State Attorneys (ASA), who made this known to the Ghana News Agency in Accra, said this was the outcome of a meeting held between the Minister of Justice and Attorney General and executive members of the association.

The spokesman said the package, which was not known yet, would serve as a temporary relief to "cushion" members, until next year when their demands would be adequately taken care of in the budget.

He gave the assurance that members would call off their strike if the package were "reasonable".

Members of ASA withdrew their services last Wednesday following a petition to the Minister calling for a review of their conditions of service. The strike action is the first, in the history of the Ministry, involving State Attorneys.
