The Minority Caucus on Parliament’s Committee on Employment, Labour Relations, and Pensions has called on the Finance Ministry. They want the Ministry to pay non salary related allowances owed to Ghana Prisons Service officers.
The Caucus expressed serious concern about the ongoing delay in these payments. This information was released in a statement on February 23.
They referenced a communiqué from the Prisons Administration dated February 17, 2026. This communiqué confirmed that officers had not received their allowances.
These allowances are crucial for the welfare of the officers. The non-payment affects their living conditions.
The Minority Caucus emphasized the need for prompt action. They believe the Ministry should address this issue immediately.
The delay could impact the morale and effectiveness of the Prisons Service. Lawmakers continue to monitor the situation closely.
