Honourable Rashid Papo has taken a strong stance on enforcing the minimum wage in Ghana. Apexnewsgh reports

Pelpuo emphasized that it’s unfair for any establishment to pay workers less than the mandated 18.5 Ghana cedis, expressing frustration with employers who fail to meet this standard.

Pelpuo’s commitment to tackling the issue of minimum wage is a step in the right direction, aiming to promote fair labor practices and protect the rights of workers. This move is also in line with global efforts to address income inequality and ensure that workers receive a living wage.

Ghana’s minimum wage has seen significant adjustments in recent years. Effective January 1, 2024, the national daily minimum wage increased by 22% to GHS 18.15. This change reflects the government’s efforts to cushion workers from inflation and promote fair compensation.

In Ghana, the minimum wage is calculated based on a daily rate, unlike other countries where it’s calculated per hour.

As Pelpuo continues to advocate for fair compensation, Ghanaian workers can expect a stronger emphasis on enforcing minimum wage laws. This move is expected to promote better working conditions, reduce income inequality, and ensure that workers receive a living wage.
