When crew is informed about GS unreliability they needed to have a plan to mitigate the threat. Close monitoring of GS with ILS DME and when required disengaging the GS and selecting appropriate VS, planning a LOC only approach or switching to visual approach are part of the options. From available evidence it appears the threat was not assessed in it's entirety and suitable threat mitigation was not planned. Surely action based on GPWS cannot be a safe option. The CVR read out should reveal the crew thought process if any. Since the issue is recurring event I hope the airline quickly addresses the issue and circulates the information and procedures to manage the threat.
