Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin has described the 10% increase in base pay for the public sector as unacceptable.
The Tripartite Committee concluded negotiations yesterday, signing an agreement for the 2025 salary increment.
However, speaking in Parliament, Afenyo-Markin criticised the percentage as inadequate, insisting that the previous Akufo-Addo administration did a far better job in handling salary adjustments.
In response, Majority Leader Mahama Ayariga defended the government’s decision, arguing that the increase was influenced by the economic challenges inherited from the previous administration.
He claimed that organised labour understood the current economic situation, and their acceptance of the 10% increase signals their confidence in the new government.
Meanwhile, Mr Afenyo-Markin is also demanding answers from Communications Minister Sam George, following his directive to shut down some radio stations.
