President John Dramani Mahama is pushing for a new commission to handle public sector salaries. This commission would be independent, meaning it operates on its own.
The President stated that the current way salaries are decided is unfair. It lacks openness and consistency across different government jobs.
He made these remarks during a Presidential Dialogue with Organised Labour. The meeting took place on Tuesday, March 17.
Mahama acknowledged that wage disparities are a long-standing problem in Ghana.
An independent body could help create a fairer system for everyone working for the government.
The establishment of such a commission aims to address these deep-rooted issues.
This move seeks to bring transparency and uniformity to the public pay structure.
The President’s call highlights the ongoing efforts to reform public administration and worker compensation.
