The Minority Caucus on Parliament’s Committee on Employment, Labour Relations and Pensions has called for swift action. They want the Finance Ministry to pay non-salary-related allowance arrears to officers of the Ghana Prisons Service.
The Caucus expressed deep concern over the prolonged delay in these payments. They released a statement about the matter on February 23.
According to the statement, the Prisons Administration confirmed the outstanding payments. This confirmation came in a communiqué issued on February 17, 2026.
These allowances are crucial for the welfare of the officers. Delays can impact their morale and performance.
The Minority hopes for a quick resolution to the issue. They believe prompt payment will ensure fairness to the officers.
