Improve public servants’ salaries to reduce bribery – Affail Monney to gov’t

Speaking on the JoyNews AM Show on Wednesday, August 5, Mr Monney said the government must critically review the remuneration of public sector workers, questioning whether the current wage structure reflects the mandate of the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission.

Mr Monney maintained that improving the welfare of public sector workers through fair and competitive salaries would reduce the temptation to solicit or accept bribes, strengthen integrity within the public service and ultimately improve service delivery.

Former President of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), Affail Monney, has called on the government to improve the salaries of public servants, arguing that better remuneration could help reduce bribery and other unethical practices in the public sector.
