Workers call
for implementation of single-spine salary
Ho, Jan. 06, Ghanadot/GNA - Public and civil
servants in Ho have appealed to the President John Evans
Atta Mills government to expedite action on the single-spine
salary structure, which implementation had been postponed
since January 2007.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency at Ho on Tuesday, the
staffs of these institutions contended that they had waited
for quite sometime for better living wages and hoped their
expectations would be met by the new government.
The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) under out-going President,
Mr John Agyekum Kufuor has set January this year to
implement the new salary scheme.
The workers who pleaded anonymity hoped the new government
would not stall the implementation of the process.
They hoped the new government would continue with the Public
Sector Reforms also initiated by its predecessor, which also
aimed at modernizing the working environment.
The workers again reminded government about the need to work
on the three tier pension scheme.
Captain Henry Quarshie (rtd), a security man called on the
new government to focus more on the productive sectors of
the economy in order to create jobs and improve
productivity.
He also urged government to de-politicize existing
government sponsored credit facilities so as to make funds
readily available to small and medium scale entrepreneurs at
affordable interest rates.
