Addressing Professorial Mischief

“Until we strive to achieve a few level of equity in the circumstances of service of community servants and Article 71 Office Holders, there would be simply no industrial harmony. U are not able to give the owner of the cash 7% and give the caretaker over 70%. We are not really FOOLS” – Professor Ransford Gyampoh. A little education for that learned Professor of national politics: First, in the last 10 years simply no group of workers in the general public sector has received a increment of 70% within their pay. Below is the information on pay increases to get public service workers for the Single Spine (which consists of lecturers) and those of Content 71 for the period 2017 to 2022. Table1: Assessment of Annual Pay Improves for Single Spine plus Article 71 (2017-2022) -%Source: Fair Wage & Wages Commission, Ministry of FinanceThe figures show that simply no group received a big 70% annual increase. The particular learned Professor might have conjured that figure from someplace – he needs to show Ghanaians how he obtained that figure. Second, everybody knows that public service employees on the Single Spine obtained 7% pay increase pertaining to 2022. But no one understands what the increase in pay for Post 71 office holders is going to be for 2021, 2022 plus beyond. Their pay is not determined for the period 2021-2025. What we know is that the Leader of the Republic has openly stated that He and His Ministers will have zero increase in their particular pay for 2021. We should keep the President to his phrases – those words would have been a small gesture towards linking the inequities in public industry pay. Third, I am persuaded that the learned Professor understands or ought to know that within the Ghanaian public sector Post 71 Office Holders are certainly not the highest paid. There are several CEOs of State- Owned Corporations that earn higher than the particular President. In the current struggles more than 4% and 7% designed for public service workers in the Single Spine, workers associated with some SOEs got twenty percent or higher increase in their purchase 2021. Finally, and most significantly, the issue of pay inequities within the public sector is a severe issue that ought to be undertaken with hard facts – and the facts are there. To become alarmed resorting to mischief-making plus propaganda in pursuit of that essential fight. We need our discovered Professors to help assemble specifics and knowledge in pursuit of pay out equity. You cannot win in the bargaining table by dabbling in outright lies. You simply succeed in raising emotions plus denigrating the title known as PROFESSOR! Year
