If President Mahama Thinks Our Role Is Not Important, Then He Should Pay Us So We Resign – Salamatu

Salamatu has reportedly called on President John Dramani Mahama’s administration to recognise her group’s contributions or settle all outstanding entitlements if its members are no longer needed.

She expressed concern over what she perceives as the government’s failure to appreciate the group’s services, suggesting that members would be willing to resign if their roles were no longer considered important.

Her statement has drawn attention to issues surrounding workers’ recognition, welfare and conditions of service, particularly for individuals serving in public or politically appointed positions. Salamatu’s position is that members should receive any unpaid salaries, allowances and other benefits before leaving their posts.

Her comments come at a time when public sector pay and working conditions remain subjects of discussion in Ghana. In March 2026, President Mahama announced plans to review the framework for determining public sector salaries and benefits, focusing on fairness, productivity and the country’s financial sustainability.

Nevertheless, the available information does not establish which group Salamatu represents or the duties its members perform. It is also unclear what prompted her concerns or whether the government has taken any decision regarding the group.

Although her remarks may intensify discussions about how public servants and political appointees are treated, there is no confirmation that the members have formally resigned or secured an agreement for payment of their outstanding entitlements.
