This development comes on the heels of the National Tripartite Committee’s agreement to a 10% increment in the minimum wage, which now stands at 19 Cedis and 7 pesewas.
President John Dramani Mahama’s involvement in the negotiations between organised labour and government representatives underscores the administration’s commitment to addressing wage concerns and enhancing the standard of living for Ghanaian workers. Labour groups have welcomed the increase, noting that this decision is a crucial step towards ensuring fair compensation in the public sector.
With the minimum wage now set at 19.07 GHS, thousands of workers are expected to benefit from this long-awaited adjustment. The negotiations are part of broader efforts by the government to reform public sector remuneration and create a more equitable economic environment. As discussions continue, both labour unions and government officials remain hopeful that these measures will pave the way for further improvements in wage policies across the country.
This development is a significant step towards improving the livelihoods of Ghanaian workers, and it’s expected to have a positive impact on the economy as a whole.
