A statement from the Association said the government assured it of the implementation of consolidated salaries and that once the consolidated salaries were paid, the payment of benefits or allowances due to its members will also be settled.
Reacting to the news on Accra-based Citi FM, Awuah said: “I have said that all the stakeholders involved in this particular issue be brought to a round table discussion on Tuesday."
“The letter itself was not addressed to us as a Ministry. It was addressed to the Chief Justice and we were copied but that notwithstanding we still think that it will be important to invite all the stakeholders to see how best the issue can be solved amicably,” he said.

JUSSAG has said that their delayed allowances had placed its members in extreme financial difficulties.
“Our members nationwide are extremely constrained economically as a result of the delay,” it said.
JUSSAG has, therefore, urged the government to pay all outstanding allowances due it on or before Wednesday 26 April or they will “advise” themselves.
