Livestream: Is the 9% pay rise fair? NPP’s term-limit suit and South Africa evacuation also on Nnawɔtwe Yi

This week's episode of Nnawɔtwe Yi, hosted by Bismark Brown, features a discussion on three critical issues facing the nation. First, the government's announcement of a 9% pay rise for public sector workers, set to take effect from January 1, 2027, with a further 10% increase in 2028. The panel will scrutinize whether this rise is fair in light of the current economic climate. The remaining 1% of the 2027 increase pertains to conditions of service.

Secondly, the panel will delve into the NPP's legal challenge at the Supreme Court against the two-term limit on the presidential office. The party seeks clarification on whether the term limit applies to consecutive terms or not. Majority Chief Whip Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has questioned the legal foundation of this suit, asserting that the constitution's wording is clear. The NPP's legal battle is among four cases currently before the court.

Lastly, the show will address the South African evacuation saga. Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa revealed that Ghana spent GH¢49.7 million to repatriate 1,964 citizens from South Africa between May and September, following a wave of xenophobic attacks. The opposition has demanded Ablakwa's resignation and threatened a vote of censure, alleging that over GH¢16 million remains unaccounted for.

Ablakwa has called for an audit to clear the air on this matter. The panel will assess whether the minister managed the evacuation process effectively. Tune in to Nnawɔtwe Yi on Adom TV to witness this enlightening debate.
