The government is to pay the negotiated salaries of members of the Joint Consultative Forum at the end of July, the Minister of Finance, Mr Yaw Osafo-Maafo said on Tuesday.
He said in a statement issued in Accra that the new salaries would take effect from last May as agreed at negotiations with the Forum.
Those to benefit are the Civil Servants' Association of Ghana, Ghana Registered Nurses Association, Ghana National Association of Teachers, Judicial Service Workers Association and Health Workers Association.
"The agreed salary levels reflect among other things the new minimum wage announced by Government in May and a continuation of the implementation of the Ghana Universal Salary Structure (GUSS). Agreement on the new schedule of allowances was also reached on 9th July, 2001."
