The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, does not approve salaries and benefits for the Executive and, by extension, for the First Lady and wife of the Vice-President, the Minister of Information, Mr Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has said.
He has, therefore, described as misleading, information making the rounds that President Akufo-Addo had given approval for Mrs Rebecca Akufo-Addo and Mrs Samira Bawumia to receive same salaries as Cabinet ministers.
While confirming that there had been an increment in allowances for the spouses of the President and the Vice-President, Mr Oppong Nkrumah emphasised that that was an approval given by the Seventh Parliament.

The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) has urged the Senior Staff Association of Universities of Ghana to call off its indefinite industrial strike.
The Association in a press statement had announced its intention to embark on a strike action starting January 21, 2021, to back its demand for the National Labour Commission to resolve some issues with their Conditions of Service.
But the FWSC in a letter dated January 22, 2021, signed by its Chief Executive, Dr Edward Kwapong, and addressed to the National Chairman of the Association, says they should call off the strike “and meet with FWSC as soon as possible early next week”.
