Politics of Monday, 23 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Minority Caucus on Parliament’s Committee on Employment, Labour Relations and Pensions has expressed deep concern over the prolonged delay in the payment of non-salary-related allowances to officers of the Ghana Prisons Service. Describing the situation as troubling, the Minority stressed that the Ghana Prisons Service remains a critical pillar of the country’s national security architecture and should not be subjected to avoidable financial hardship. It also urged the Ministry of the Interior to strengthen inter-ministerial coordination to prevent a recurrence in the 2026 fiscal year. Commending officers of the Ghana Prisons Service for the “patience and restraint” demonstrated so far, the statement assured personnel that their grievances had been heard. Signed by Frank Asiedu Bekoe, the Deputy Ranking Member of the Committee, the statement reaffirmed the Minority’s commitment to its oversight responsibility.
