On Thursday, the president addressed the National Tripartite Committee meeting at the Ministry of Labour, Jobs, and Employment, where a 10% increase in base pay for public sector workers, effective March 2025, was announced.

Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama underscored the importance of collective sacrifice to rebuild the stability disrupted by the previous government.

“We all knew the economy was in crisis, but some of the things I'm discovering myself, I mean, it's been a criminal handling of our economy,” he said, adding that the Office of Government Machinery has also reduced expenditures to prevent wasteful spending.

“We are prepared to walk this journey with you,” he stated, promising that as the economy recovers, workers will see greater benefits.
