Members of Parliament (MPs) currently earn about GH¢60,000 a month as basic salary, excluding allowances, according to JoyNews Research and Data Analyst Caleb Ziblim.
He said the projected amount is derived from the new salary structure that took effect from 2025, following an adjustment in the salaries of MPs, ministers and other public officials.
Addressing the reasons why the compensation cost at the presidency between (2023 -2026) appear to be high despite government reducing the number of appointees, he suggested that the newly approved salary structure could be the reason.
“So, we know that for the past four years, the MPs, ministers and all of that were making about GH¢30,000 a month but then from 2025 going, they are now making GH¢60,000 a month so that’s about the problem,” he said in a snippet from his illustration on the subject shared on X, on August 30, 2026.
Caleb Ziblim explained that MPs previously received about GH¢30,000 a month up to 2024 before the adjustment was made.
“About GH¢30,000 four years ago up to 2024. So, after 2024, there’s an adjustment in our salaries and now the new salary structure will mean that, the basic salary is about GH¢60,000 every month,” he stated.
He stressed that the GH¢60,000 figure does not include the allowances MPs receive.
“That’s without the allowances. So, that’s about double,” he added.
“So, we are assuming that the jump from 100 million to now 248 million is because the president is now using the new and approved salary structure by Parliament, so this could explain why the jump from 100 million to 248 million,” he explained.
