The Chief Executive of the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission called on State-Owned Enterprise leaders to support the transition to the Independent Public Emoluments Commission (IPEC), which aims to establish an independent, equitable and sustainable compensation system for Ghana's public sector, replacing what he described as a fragmented, inequitable and fiscally unsustainable pay system.
The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission held a stakeholder meeting with CEOs and officials from more than 100 State-Owned Enterprises to discuss the transition to the Independent Public Emoluments Commission. SOE leaders raised concerns about how the new regime will affect their ability to attract and retain talent and the level of autonomy they will retain.
The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission has described the death of CLOGSAG Executive Secretary Dr Isaac Bampoe Addo on Friday, August 21, 2026, as a significant loss to organised labour and Ghana's public service. FWSC Chief Executive Dr George Smith-Graham praised him as a formidable voice in labour relations who advocated for fairness and workers' welfare while maintaining mutual respect across negotiations.
Organised Labour has pledged to actively participate in establishing the Independent Public Emoluments Commission (IPEC), with the Trades Union Congress Secretary-General urging the government to keep labour groups involved throughout the process to ensure comprehensive public sector pay reforms rather than a fragmented approach.
