The Minority Caucus on Parliament's Committee on Employment, Labour Relations, and Pensions has voiced deep concern.
They are worried about the long delay in paying non-salary allowances to officers of the Ghana Prisons Service.
A statement from the Caucus dated February 23 referenced a communique. This communique was issued by the Prisons Administration four days earlier.
The communique confirmed the non-payment of these allowances.
The Caucus urged the Ministry of Finance to pay these arrears quickly.
They highlighted the importance of these allowances for officer welfare.
Unpaid allowances can affect morale and work performance.
The issue has lingered for some time, causing frustration among officers.
The Minority believes prompt payment is crucial for national security.
They will continue to monitor the situation closely.
