The Minority Caucus on Parliament’s Committee on Employment, Labour Relations and Pensions is worried about delays in paying allowances to Ghana Prisons Service officers. They want the Ministry of Finance to pay these non-salary related allowances.
The Caucus released a statement on February 23. It referenced a document from the Prisons Administration.
The Prisons Administration confirmed the payment delays on February 17, 2026. The overdue payments are for various non-salary related allowances.
These allowances are crucial for the welfare of the prison officers. The Minority Caucus believes the delays are unfair to the officers for their service.
They are calling on the Ministry of Finance to quickly address this issue. The Caucus said the payments must be made without further delay.
The timely payment of allowances is important for maintaining morale and efficiency within the Prisons Service.
