Ghana's Minister for Labour, Jobs and Employment, Emmanuel Kwadwo Agyekum, has called on Chief Executives of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) to actively contribute to the creation of the country's new public sector compensation system. The government aims to develop a home-grown, sustainable system based on broad consultation and stakeholder experiences, rather than imposing a foreign model.
Agyekum urged SOE CEOs to openly share their perspectives, concerns, and suggestions to help shape an effective and sustainable compensation framework. The Minister emphasized that this process was not intended to take away the SOEs' powers, but rather to invite their input and ensure the new system reflects Ghana's realities. The stakeholder engagement, organized by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), aimed to build consensus around the proposed Independent Public Emoluments Commission (IPEC) reforms.
FWSC Chief Executive Dr. George Smith-Graham assured SOE boards that their mandate would remain, with the governance architecture changing to accommodate the new IPEC framework.
