The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) and the Health Services Workers Union have asked the National Pension Regulatory Authority to discharge their eight-month pension arrears.
The two unions complained about the withdrawals of their two-tier pensions from their paychecks, which had not been put into the appropriate accounts.
Perpetual Ofori Ampofo, President of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association, urged the authorities to offer an explanation for their conduct.
“Month after month, we see these amounts withdrawn and plainly displayed on our payslips. However, they are not reflected in our pension programme. We check our statements and there is nothing there. At the end of the day, where is the money?” Perpetual Ofori Ampofo questioned.
