President John Dramani Mahama has established a National Emolument Committee to address salary disparities and ensure fairness in Ghana’s public sector remuneration.
The committee is tasked with determining the salaries of all public sector employees, including the President himself.
The goal is to bring consistency and transparency to the nation’s wage structure.
President Mahama made the announcement during a meeting with Organised Labour on Thursday, February 20, 2025.
He stated that the establishment of the Emolument Committee is expected to resolve the persistent confusion and dissatisfaction over salary structures in the Ghanaian public service.
“We are proposing an independent Emolument Committee that would set the incomes for everybody from the President right down to the ordinary labourer. We are prepared to walk this journey with you. Once the economy moves in the direction that we are all hoping for, we all, if we have an independent Emoluments Committee, maybe if you suggest 35 percent, I will support you because it will affect my pay too.”
