The Minority in Parliament has expresed dissatisfaction with the recently announced 10% salary increase for public sector workers, describing it as insufficient to address the challenges posed by rising living costs.
The salary adjustment, intended to help workers cope with economic pressures, was announced following negotiations between the Labour Union and President John Dramani Mahama on Thursday, February 20, 2024.
President Mahama personally engaged with union leaders to secure their support for the pay rise, which was finalised after extensive discussions.
However, the Minority has argued that the 10% increase falls short of what is needed to meaningfully alleviate the financial strain on public sector employees.
