The required retirement age for employees of the public sector will not be changed, according to the Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations (MELR).
Reports that the government has lowered the retirement age from 60 to 50 years old were inaccurate, according to a statement released in Accra by the ministry and copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA).
“The Ministry of Employment and Labour Relations wishes to inform the general public that the said publication is untrue and malicious,” it stated.
It thus entreated the public to disregard the false publication.
The mandatory retirement for public sector employees is 60 years.
