The opposition (NPP) has criticized the recently announced 10% base pay increase for public sector workers, describing it as insufficient and a disservice to workers.
According to the party, the increment does not adequately address the rising cost of living and fails to reflect the hard work and dedication of public sector employees.
This criticism follows an agreement between the government and organized labour to implement a 10% base pay increase across the board for public sector workers.
Speaking to Starr News, the NPP's National Communications Director, Richard Ahiagbah, stated that the increase falls short of what is needed to improve workers' welfare. "This is an attempt to persuade workers into accepting the government's approach.
