A Professor of Political Science at the University of Ghana, Professor Ransford Edward Gyampo, has indicated that his monthly salary is nowhere close to the amount taken by a cleaner in Saudi Arabia.
In a discussion on TV3’s The Key Points, he shared some of his experiences while in Saudi Arabia and one them included finding out the minimum wage paid to a worker in the country.
According to him, a worker earns a minimum of $1000 dollars monthly as salary. According to him, even as a Professor in Ghana, his monthly salary is not close to the salary earned in Saudi Arabia.
“They don’t pay taxes. He said I work, I don’t pay taxes. I said why. He said they use the money that they get from the oil to do everything.
“The minimum, there is a rule that says that if you recruit somebody, the minimum you can pay the person is 1000 dollars, even if it is a cleaner.
“I am a University professor, I don’t get that. No, why are we always fighting. Monthly salary. He said I am in an apartment, I don’t pay light bill, water bill,” he said.
In Ghana, teacher unions have lamented the poor working conditions and low remuneration provided by the government. They have on several occasions laid down their working tools to register their displeasure.
Wicked leaders and selfish leaders in Ghana 🇬🇭.
