President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has received a petition from a group identifying as the “Coalition of Immediate Past MMDCEs” alleging a “delay in the payment of salary differentials.”
The association added in a statement that the recent Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) had not received their compensation differentials that had accrued throughout their four years of government service.
The group’s leader, Mr. Leo-Nelson Adzidogah, a former MCE for Akatsi South, signed the statement, stating that even after meeting all their demands, they were still concerned about the problem.
“Your Excellency, with the greatest respect, we the immediate past MMDCEs deem it expedient to draw your high attention to the delay in the payment of our salary differentials which accumulated over the four years 2017 to 2021 that we conscientiously served your government.”
“Mr. President, since we wrote a letter of request for payment of the salary differentials, we have been told to prove whether we deserve the claim we are making.”
“We find it extremely unpleasant to draw the attention of your officials to the payment your government made to the NDC MMDCEs who left office in 2017,” the statement read.
This clearly shows that the government owns the current MMDCEs millions of cedis.
