Professor Stephen Adei<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The chairman of the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) Professor Emeritus Steven Adei has indicated that half of the Ghanaians working in the public sector do not deserve their salaries.<\/p>\n
In fact, he insists that a significant number of Ghanaians are overpaid juxtaposing their salaries with their output at work.<\/p>\n
Speaking to host Julius Caesar Anadem on the Ultimate Breakfast Show, Professor Adei indicated that the Ghanaian worker attitude remains one of the worst across the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that most Ghanaians are overpaid, I can tell you that over 50% of public servants don\u2019t earn their pay. They go to work and they have not worked to earn it so don\u2019t talk about a pay as small because pay is related to productivity and output,\u201d he lashed out.<\/p>\n
Shooting down the counter argument of paying workers well to get the best out of them, Prof Adei contended, \u201cif someone says that if you had given me what it takes to work, I would have worked, then you have actually fired yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Professor Adei also took it hard at labour, describing the persistent calls for pay rise because of inflation and cost of living as flimsy.<\/p>\n
He is rather advocating a productivity-driven tripartite meeting between government, employment, and the Trades Union Congress.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want a tripartite meeting where public sector workers say we are coming into agreement with the government. In the next three years, we will work to double government revenue. When we do that you will increase our salaries by 75%. This is the type of tripartite productivity wage link.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut to come and say that there has been inflation and therefore increase my salary; if there is inflation and you haven\u2019t produced, everybody must be poorer,\u201d the economist, leadership and governance professor fumed.<\/p>\n
Professor Adei is delivering a lecture on Tuesday at 5:30 pm at the Living Waters Assemblies of God Church on the theme \u201cthe attitude of the Ghanaian to work; implications for growth and work.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lecture will be live on air on Ultimate 106.9 FM and online at Ultimatefmonline.com and on tune in radio.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
