Prof Adei was reported by Accra-based Class FM as advocating for a zero percent pay rise for public sector workers citing the harsh economic situation the country is in. He added: "One person you are: Board Chairman of GRA, Board chairman, NDPC; Member, Economic Advisory Team of government." GhanaWeb checks, however, reveal that Prof Adei is as of today, a former Board Chairman for the Ghana Revenue Authority. Aggrieved public sector workers held a protest last month to reject four and seven percent pay rise proposals for 2021 and 2022 respectively demanding to be given "nothing less than 25 per cent.”What exactly did Prof Adei say about pay rise? Then the other people should know that their 4 per cent is actually higher,” Prof Adei said.
