Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, who started the Single Spine Pay Policy when he was Public Sector Reform Minister, has told Citi News that the Government must apologize to Teachers for the problems associated with their migration onto the Single Spine Salary Structure.<\/p>\n
Teachers have been demonstrating across the country for the third day to protest what they describe as appalling discrepancies in their February salary following their migration onto the salary platform.<\/p>\n
Some of the teachers complain deductions have been made from their pay contrary to expectations of an average 34 percent increment.<\/p>\n
The 2008 flagbearer of the CPP told host of the Citi Breakfast Show, Moro Awudu on Friday March 4, that the Government and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission should have learnt lessons from the problems created with the salaries of Prison officers under the same circumstances months ago so as to avert the current difficulties with teachers.<\/p>\n
According to him, someone must take full responsibility for the mess that has occurred.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody is accepting the responsibility, that is my difficulty with this. Somebody in government, whether Ministry of Education, Fair Wages Commission or at the Presidency must come out and say ‘I am sorry for this’ and say we did not check the results well before we went to the banks. If you don\u2019t do that, the next time when it is the turn of the Doctors and someone doesn\u2019t check them there would be another explosion\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt happened just a few months ago with the Prison Officers; if something had been checked then it wouldn\u2019t have happened again. What we need is to make sure that the political authority is always paying attention\u201d.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Economist Dr Nii Moi Thompson has suggested even harsher punishment be meted out to those responsible for the mess.<\/p>\n
According to Dr Nii Moi Thompson, the current chaos is completely unacceptable, adding that those responsible should be fired for the negligence leading to such grave discrepancies.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026in the public sector people make huge mistakes, they screw up and they don\u2019t get punished so the mistakes are repeated over and over again. I hope this would be a turning point where heads would have to roll\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
