The 10% pay cut announced by former President John Mahama in his 2014, State of the Nation Address to parliament for him and his ministers has summed up to a total of GHC 2.5million at the end of December 2016.
The amount according to TV3 sources has been deposited in a special account recommended by the former president to be used for the construction of Community-based Health Planning and Services compounds or CHPS compounds.
The Controller and Accountant General’s Department who confirmed this to TV3 indicated that the 10% deducted from the salaries of the former president and 52 ministers and other government appointees were deducted over a period of three years. Head of payroll at the Controller and Accountant General’s Department, George Baah in an interview with TV3 said “a monthly average of around GHC 52,000 accrued from the deductions.”
Mr. Baah however indicated that “as to the disbursement, who is in charge, whether it was indeed being used to finance the construction of those projects was totally out of my remit.” TV3 checks with the Ministry of Health indicated that the coordinator for the construction of the CHPS compound operated under the office of the ex-president.
The source indicated that part of the amount has been used for the construction of the CHPS compounds but could not give any figure.

Ok we hear... but you're not telling us how much they stole after the ghc2.5 million cut. Would you please tell us? This is the kind of propaganda we don't need in Ghana. You're not dealing with sycophants who can't read between the lines. Who doesn't know about 99.999999999% of Mahamah appointees were big time +*++TH1E++++VE*S+++++? Don't waste our ears and time because we're all not as gullible as you think.
The source said part of the money was used for chps compound but could not state the amount does ndc think Ghanaians are st*pid? You couldn't mention how much you used for your so called chps compound but we're able to give us figures of how much was deducted. Wo sisi Annanse a wo sisi wo ho. If ndc think they are cheating Ghanaians they should know they cheating themselves. Ndc must be truthful to themselves a little bit,their liars and dishonesty will keep them forever in opposition. Nobody,nobody in Ghana trust ndc and they can tickle themselves in opposition forever nobody cares! What Ghanaians do care is never again to give them chance to ever rule this nation. They can twist and turn,***barred word*** and whine,bark or hiss move from radio station to another thinking they can convince the people with their propaganda they will never come back to power over the dead bodies of Ghanaians. Don't you idi*ts see how Ghanaians hate you and don't want to see or hear anything ndc? Not even your founder and some founders like you because of your dishonest and deceitful nature. Get the hell out of our faces,nation wreckers.
massa this tv3 people too the guys has no facts and yet to go along with him to disgrace us all. all questions could not be answered except one that the amount was collect but the rest nil. go where to find the answers, how much was used and not use you could not tell, i just smile an umbrella in this chap...shame on you
IF IN DEED THIS WAS THE CASE, HOW MUCH JUDGEMENT DEBT DID YOU PAY AND HOW MUCH OF THE BRANDING COST DID WE INCUR ON GHANAIANS
It's a lie and hypocrisy. How on earth did they save when they were busy stealing all those money. How can you reduce the money that goes to workers pockets when they are struggling to make ends meet.
What happened to the 10 percent increase in salary that was back dated to 2013? why do politicians always want to hide the truth from us? If they saved GHS 2.5 million, and then they increased their salary in 2016 and then back date it to 2013 how much would that also amount to?
They were hired to help build the country.If that's all they were able to do, then I pity them. They have told us how much they saved the country, can they tell us how much they stole? ?This is a slap in the face. Cheap politics, give us break. CHILDISH.
THAT IS GOOD. BUT THE QUESTION STILL REMAINS "HOW MUCH DID THEY TAKE AWAY FROM THE STATE?"
