The bonded unposted allied health professionals claim government refused to issue clearance letters to them – a situation that has left them jobless 9 months after the completion of their programmes of study and National Service.

However, Mr Robert Cudjo speaking to the aggrieved graduates assured them that the ministry was taking steps to ensure that their grievances are addressed as soon as possible.

“I will continue to appeal of all of you gathered here that their matter is of interest to government and that they should exercise patience and give us some time. I can’t give a definite timeline but I am personally taking the matter on a daily basis to ensure that the clearance is given, I will urge you and colleagues to end their picketing after this meeting," he added.
