Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - Ghana (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation on the following points:

In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government's earlier statement that the comments of the Committee had been noted and that the issue had been placed before the National Advisory Committee on Labour with the view of bringing the national legislation into conformity with Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention (inclusion of labour clauses in public contracts, and application of adequate sanctions and measures to ensure the payment of wages). It hopes that progress will be reported in the very near future. Meanwhile, the Committee noted the Government's indication in its report received on 18 December 1990 that no tender will be considered if it is not accompanied by a statement obtained from the Labour Department certifying the tenderer's compliance with rules, regulations and laws on remuneration and conditions of employment. The Committee requests the Government to supply further information on the manner in which the conditions of employment (including wage rates and hours of work) the tenderers are thus required to comply with are established, and a copy of such certificate.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
