The Speaker of Ghana’s 8th Parliament under the 4th Republic – Hon Alban Bagbin, has expressed discontent with the salaries some Parliamentary Service staff receive for virtually doing nothing
According to him, they do very little but receive salaries from the state at the end of every month.
In his opinion, a significant number of the staff are contributing nothing, yet are paid at the end of every month hence they should be fired or giving other tasks to perform
He noted that a lack of monitoring and supervision by managers of various units in Parliament has aided in the current dire situation.
Whiles addressing this issue in parliament today, he said
This board must work collectively to improve upon the work ethics of staff. It is a fact that there some staff members are hardworking and giving off their best for Parliament but it is equally true that there is a significant number whose contribution is nothing to write home about,” Mr. Bagbin said, as quoted by Myjoyonline.
Indeed there are some who basically have no schedule and virtually do nothing yet are paid by the state every month, this I think must change if we want to be a module parliament in Africa.”
The Parliamentary Service Board is tasked with promoting the welfare of Members of Parliament and Staff of the Service.
