\n

The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) and the Health Services Workers Union have petitioned the National Pension Regulatory Authority to release their 8-month pension arrears.<\/p>\n

The two unions bemoaned the deductions of their two-tier pensions from their salaries, which had not been paid into the necessary accounts.<\/p>\n

President of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association, Perpetual Ofori Ampofo, called on the authorities to provide some explanations for their actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cMonth after month, we see these monies deducted and clearly shown on our payslips. But they don\u2019t reflect in our pension scheme. We check our statements, and there\u2019s nothing there. At the end of the day, where is the money?\u201d Perpetual Ofori Ampofo asked.<\/p>\n
