Gov’t Approves 10% Wage Hike For Public Sector Workers

The government has approved a 10 percent wage hike for public sector workers following successful negotiations between the Labour Union and President John Dramani Mahama.

This marks the second wage adjustment in less than a year. The latest pay rise follows a significant 23% salary adjustment in 2024, which was aimed at cushioning workers against rising living costs.

President Mahama personally engaged with union representatives to secure their support for the increase, underscoring the government’s commitment to easing financial burdens amid economic challenges.

Minister of Labour, Jobs and Employment, Rashid Pelpuo in his announcement said the increment takes effect on March 1, 2025

The wage hike is expected to bring relief to thousands of public sector employees.

 

 

Meanwhile; President John Mahama has criticized his predecessor, Nana Akufo-Addo, over the management of Ghana’s economy, describing it as criminal.

Speaking at the National Tripartite Committee meeting at the Ministry of Labour, Jobs, and Employment on Thursday, he said, “We all knew the economy was in crisis, but some of the things I am uncovering myself have been a criminal mishandling of our economy. Ghana is now a crime scene. How can a government be so reckless? I cannot understand.”
