The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has refuted claims in section of the media about an abolishing of the Single Spine Salary Structure (SSSS) when the NPP is elected.
According to the party, the government of President J.A. Kufour worked tirelessly on the policy framework and modalities from 2006 and had prepared for implementation by early 2009, adding, “When a new government was elected they suspended implementation for a year.”
In a press release issued by the party, it noted that it cannot be true that any individual or the NPP will think of abolishing such a noble initiative that seeks to restructure and streamline our salary scheme, for people to be paid for work done and dignify work for our country’s working population.
“It is therefore not possible for anyone on the Akufo-Addo 2012 team to abolish the scheme, God willing when victory is secured at the 2012 polls. Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, our Running Mate for 2012, an astute economist of international repute knows the benefits of the SSSS. He has never said that the SSSS will be abolished.”
It noted that, the penchant of their opponents to throw dust in the eyes of the Ghanaian public and waging a campaign of lies, insults and fabrication continues.
“We want to assure all Ghanaians and most especially workers who have been migrated and those who are yet to, that a new NPP government led by Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr. Mahamud Bawumia will work in the interest of not just the SSSS but also personal development and appraisal of our work force. What we believe in is prosperity for all.”
