President Mahama 07.12

President Mahama is reported to be unhappy with the salary increment of the President, the deputy, Ministers of state and other officials of the executive.

Before Parliament went on recess, they approved the increment of salaries of the President, his deputy and some members of the Executive arm of governance.

The President will now be paid 12,000 Ghana Cedis monthly while his vice takes home 10,500 Ghana Cedis.

Ministers and their deputies will also receive salaries ranging from 8,000 and 9,000 Ghana Cedis.

But a member of the NDC communication team, Spencer Quaye has told XYZ News that he is reliably informed that the President is unhappy and is being urged not to accept the report of the committee.

“I have heard that President wasn’t aware of the figure they quoted and is particularly not really impressed, this is something I heard from a very reliable source.

“My only prayer is that the President does not give his accent,” Spencer Quaye said.
