Renowned Local Government expert, Mr. Amon Kotei has stated that reviewing the Allowances given to CEO’s of State Owned Enterprises has been long overdue.
The expert made the comment whiles speaking to Kwame Koranteng on Republic FM’s Anopa Dawuro on Wednesday, April 27 during his assertions on the CLOGSAG strike.
“As a matter of fact, the state owned enterprises, the public services that helps governments manage certain areas, it long overdue that we need to look at their Allowances”
His comments comes after the presidency says it is slashing off 30% allowances of state owned companies CEO’s to salvage the ailing economy.
Truthfully, in Labour Salary Management, there is something called Relativity Ratio, that is the difference between one level of salary against the other and according to the expert, if a CEO take home Gh35,000 and a chief driver takes Gh4,000 the difference should definitely tell that there is something wrong.
However, he argued that these people cannot be blamed because that is how the system has made them and the Labour law has stated clearly these people cannot be worth off and when such people receives huge amount of salaries, it keeps adjusting higher.
“And that is the minds of people who want to dupe the country but you can’t blame them because that’s the system and the Labour law says you can’t let the person be worth off mad that’s why their salaries keep going higher”
