The Minister designate for Employment and Labour Relations, Mr Ignatius Baffour Awuah, has said the current short working period does not augur well for the national pension scheme and has, consequently, argued for the extension of the compulsory retirement age of public workers to ensure the sustainability of the scheme.
“I have raised this issue on several platforms, and even if you look at the sustainability of the pension scheme, when you have a short working period, it doesn’t augur well,” he said in response to a question from the Member of Parliament (MP) for Bawku Central, Mr Mahama Ayariga, on the need to extend the working age of public workers.

In a list released by Senate President Vicente Sotto III Monday, the establishment of a department for overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) is second in the Upper Chamber’s priorities after the proposed National Land Use Act.
Earlier, senators decided to defer discussions on the proposed OFW department and other new agencies to address first the government’s bloated bureaucracy. President Duterte recently certified it as an urgent measure.
But Sotto later said he is already inclined to vote for the creation of OFW department since it would support his push for the rightsizing of the government, as it would put all existing OFW-related agencies in one body.
