The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has voiced concerns regarding the government’s alleged failure to fulfill mandatory contributions for over 700,000 Ghanaian workers.
During a press conference on Thursday, April 18, NAGRAT President, Angel Carbonu, accused the government of financial misconduct.
He specifically pointed out the non-payment of Tier 2 pension scheme contributions and other third-party deductions since July 2023.
Mr. Carbonu stressed that while these contributions are deducted from workers’ salaries, they are not reaching the intended institutions.
This, according to NAGRAT, raises significant doubts about the future financial security of these workers, particularly concerning retirement.
NAGRAT has issued a one-week ultimatum to the government, demanding the immediate transfer of all outstanding deductions to the appropriate institutions.
Mr. Carbonu warned that failure to comply with this ultimatum could lead to further action being taken to address what they perceive as financial misconduct by the government.
