The Judicial Service Staff Association of Ghana (JUSAG) has begun its nationwide strike, disrupting activities at several court premises across the country.

The Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, Accra Circuit Court and some District Court offices have been locked, with security personnel restricting access to the facilities.

A report by citinewsroom.com on Monday, November 2, 2026, indicated that security officers had been instructed not to open the gates of the affected court premises.

At some of the court entrances, red cloth has also been tied to signal the association's concerns and draw attention to the industrial action.

Meanwhile, Judicial Secretary Musah Ahmed has appealed to the association to call off the strike, citing ongoing engagements to resolve the issues.

He said management had held high-level, good-faith negotiations with relevant government stakeholders to address the outstanding concerns.

Despite the appeal, the association has commenced the industrial action, raising concerns about disruptions to court activities and the delivery of judicial services across the country.

The strike follows JUSAG's demand for the payment of outstanding revised salary arrears owed to its members, dating back to January 2026.
