A Deputy Minister for Finance, Dr. John Kumah, has refuted claims by the Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin that government may not be able to pay salaries from the next three months.
The Speaker on the floor of parliament last week disclosed that the government may not be able pay salaries for the next three months.
He therefore called on MPs to show leadership in these difficult times.”
“This is not to discourage the committee from doing their work. If something is not done within the next three months, the government may not be able to pay salaries.”
“So we have to take leadership. We have to do a lot of things,” he said.
But Mr. John Kumah in a Citi News interview stated that “It is not true. Even when COVID-19 hit us hard, and we were struggling as a country, we still managed to pay all public workers and on time. In January this year, workers were paid on time, We are hopeful that of February will be paid on time.”
