Teachers In Ghana Are Paid Indecent Salaries – Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta Admits

Ghana’s Minister for Finance, Ken Ofori Atta has reportedly admitted that teachers in Ghana are not paid decent salaries for their service.

Speaking at a town hall gathering in Wa, Upper West Region, on Monday, February 21, 2022, recorded by Ghbase.com, he said;

“I look at teachers and governmental servants, for example, and I would be the first to confess that the wages are disgusting; nobody will contest that,”

There is a reasonable desire for more and a realistic reality of little money, he acknowledged.

“What do we as a society do?” asked.

“Then you ask for a raise, which is great. But your colleagues who collect the money are not collecting it, so how can you, who are responsible for collecting it, not collect it and then demand me to pay you the money? That will be a problem”, he said.

The original 1.75 % e-levy has been reduced to 1.5 %.

It is still pending in the hung parliament since the Minority Caucus would not cooperate with the Majority.

Away from that, Nollywood actress, Monalisa Stephen has opened up on his battle with Tinnitus, a condition commonly described as a ringing in the ears, but it also can sound like roaring, clicking, hissing, or buzzing.

Taking to her Instagram story, Monalisa Stephen lamented how frustrating living with the condition is stating that she has to work twice as hard not to focus on it.

According to her sometimes she just cries and wishes it can go away but it’s not going. However, she made it clear that she did not share her experience to get pity but to let those battling know they are not alone.
