The Civil and Local Government Staff Association, Ghana (CLOGSAG), has asked the Ministry of Finance to relinquish its supervisory role over the Social Security and National Insurance Trust ( SSNIT).
The association said it would be compelled to take legal action against the ministry if it failed to renounce the role.
Speaking at a thanksgiving service organised by CLOGSAG in Accra last Saturday to mark May Day, the Executive Secretary of the Association, Mr Isaac Bampoe-Addo, said investigations by the association revealed that SSNIT had been placed under the Financial Service Division of the Ministry of Finance.
However, the National Pensions Act, 2008 (Act 766), clearly indicated that the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations was rather in charge of pensions in the country and, therefore, must play the supervisory role over SSNIT.

Bishop Charles Agyinasare, Resident Pastor of Perez Chapel Headquarters, Accra, says the death and blood of Jesus have given value to the lives of believers.
He said through the blood of Jesus “our lives have become valuable. his blood has given meaning and purpose to our lives.”
Bishop Agyinasare said this at a Good Friday Service of the Church in Accra.
He said the blood of Jesus, through his death, had redeemed Christians from evil and wrongdoing.
“We were God’s possession and the devil stole us; however, we have been redeemed with love through his blood,” he added.
The Bishop said the death of Jesus had “granted us fellowship with the Lord.”
The Reverend Lawrence Kwesi Tete, the Minister in Charge of the Tema Community 11 Presbyterian Church of Ghana at the weekend called on Ghanaians to demonstrate love always and not just on Valentine or National Chocolate Day.
He said it is a mirage that “we seek to be focusing on February 14 as a special day for expression of love. This is only one day out of the 365 days of the year; we must teach and exhibit love to others all year round.
“Our wrong perception about the exhibition of love is what is driving the youth to associate the Valentine or Chocolate Day with sexual love”.
Pastor Isaac Kwofie , Resident Pastor of the Action Chapel International (ACI) in Cape Coast has urged all to let the love of God lead them but in all their endeavors as they celebrate Valentine’s Day.
This, he said, was because the love of God directs the path of man to righteousness and honor.
St. Valentine s Day is an annual festival to celebrate romantic love, friendship and admiration usually with the color red every year on February 14.
People celebrate this day by sending messages of love and affection to partners, family and friends with cards, text messages, chocolates and flowers and spend special time together to honor their love for each other.
