According the Finance Minister of Ghana, Teachers and Civil Servant salaries in Ghana are indecent.
Speaking at a Town Hall Meeting in Wa o 21st February 2022, Ken Ofori-Atta admitted that the salaries of civil servant and teachers are indecent.
He noted that in order for government to fill revenue gaps and increase development Ghanaians need to embrace the E-Levy.
I look at teachers and civil servants for example, and I will be the first to admit that the salaries are indecent, nobody will argue with that. At the same time, it is 60% of all the revenue we collect from 700,000 people that is also a fact”, the Finance Minister said.
