Fair Wages and Salaries Commission calls on IGP

The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), as part of its stakeholder engagement policy, has paid a courtesy call on the Inspector General of Police, Dr Akuffo Dampare, to discuss issues of mutual interest.

Mr Benjamin Arthur, the Acting Chief Executive of the FWSC, extolled the good works of the Ghana Police Service, saying it was the ‘first child’ of the Single Spine Pay Policy (SSPP) and invited it to visit the Commission on any concerns it might have.

He said stakeholders had expressed the need for a review of the SSPP and was sure in due course, it would receive the necessary attention.

Dr Dampare, on his part, expressed appreciation to the team for the call.

The Ghana Police Service was the first institution to be migrated unto the Single Spine Salary Structure in 2010, which was implemented to regulate the payment of public service workers.

Present at the meeting were Mr Earl Ankrah, Ag. Director, Research & Public Affairs, Ms Baaba Anquandah, Director, Salary Administration, Mr Dollar Agbenu, Director, Finance & Administration, and Mr Michael Youri, Head, Legal.

The IGP’s team had Commissioners of Police Mr Paul Manly Awini and Mr Frederick Adu Anim.
