Mahama Has NOT Increased Appointees’ Salaries – Government Explains Salary Top-Ups & Arrears

#Mahama #GhanaPolitics #GhanaNews #PresidencyGH #BreakingNews #PoliticalNews The government has clarified claims regarding salaries paid to presidential appointees, ministers, deputy ministers, and Members of Parliament, insisting that President Mahama has not increased the salaries of appointees at the Presidency. According to the explanation, public office holders who assume office are initially paid "on account"—meaning they receive existing salary levels until a committee determines their official remuneration and conditions of service. Officials stated that ministers, deputy ministers, MPs, and political appointees who served between 2021 and 2024 received salary top-ups after the recommendations of the remuneration committee were finalized. These payments represent the difference between what they were initially paid and what they were ultimately entitled to receive. The government also confirmed that members of the 8th Parliament, including former ministers and deputy ministers, have already received their salary arrears and top-up payments. Outstanding arrears for political appointees who served at the Presidency between 2021 and 2024 are reportedly being processed by the Ministry of Finance. The administration maintains that recent figures circulating in public discussions have been misrepresented and insists that no new salary increases have been approved by President Mahama for current presidential appointees. Watch the full briefing for the government's detailed explanation on salaries, arrears, and remuneration of public office holders. You are watching a video on the YouTube channel of Channel One TV.
