General News of Saturday, 12 May 2018Source: ghananewsagency.orgCHRAJ calls for review of single spine salary policyFile photoThe Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has called for a review of the Single Spine Salary Structure to address the wide salary disparity in the formal sector. Pastor Emmanuel Appiah-Kubi, a Principal anti-corruption officer at the Brong-Ahafo Regional Office of the CHRAJ made the call at a forum to mark this year’s constitution week on Friday. Reacting to concerns at the forum in Sunyani, Pastor Appiah-Kubi expressed discomfort that the implementation of that pay policy had rather widened the salary disparity in the public sector. Pastor Appiah-Kubi partly attributed the rise in corruption to the poor salaries and working conditions of some public officers, and stressed the need for urgent review of the pay policy. She said each and every individual had a role to play and appealed to public institutions and organisations to make concerted efforts to fight the canker.
