1. They can't pay other workers.
2. There are two many of them 276. Why was it not capped at 100?
3. I believe 30 is enough to debate and pass laws.
Do we even need Parliamentarians? Efo Julor John Rawlings ruled for many years without any Parliamentarians. It is a very lucrative position. That is why everybody wants to be a Politician in Ghana now. And how much is the Pr ...

Why do they have to pay the school fees and other bills of constituents if they create jobs and opportunities in tge country. Let's face the fact. They are living fat while the ordinary Ghanaian wallow in abject poverty
@Frankie. Please don't provoke me with your submission. Is it the responsibility of a Parliamentarian to use public funds for funerals, paying rents, etc. Our stupidity in Ghana is at another level. No wonder our country is a ...

@Ablekuma Van Damme!! that is a blatant lie my friend!! those expenditures you are referring to, comes out from their common funds!
That's how the mp's presented themselves to the constituence when aspiring for that position. Can the now mp's run away from what they started?
Meaning other workers don't have such responsibility.
Were they voted for such ?
If you make the majority financially sound such pressure will not be mounted on you.
Akoa frankie yi e fool oo. Not a single comment from him ever make sense. Kwasea saa no.
Frankie will defend any stupidity so far as his party Ndc is involved.He should be realistic How about the other workers who have not been paid for months?

U are not serious
Is it the work of MPs to pay school fees?
That's the very reasons that they should earn relatively a lot!. You can't use freebies they give as reason for increasing their salaries.
BUT THEY ARE NOT ALONR USLESS JUDGES THAT SIT ON THEIR ASS AND TAKE BRIBES ARE THE SAME WHILE 97% OF GHANIANS FAMILY EAT KENKIE AND OTHER UNHEALTY FOOD BECAUSE WE CAN NOT FEED OUR FAMILIYS 3 DECENT MEALS A DAY
Shame on Frank Agyena-Karikari. I think US doesn’t have parliamentarians or Senators. They only have Teachers with big heads like that of Frank ruling the Country.

By the appreciation of CEDI to DOLLAR, they should get less than 30,000 CEDIS they were getting in 2024. They should do what they did to the COCOA FARMERS to themselves.
The only time Majority and Minority agree 100%: GH¢60,000 a month!
That’s GH¢2.88 million in four years, before allowances and perks.

Wicked people. These are some of the injustices causing citizens to demonstrate and burn down the Parliament House. Making life comfortable for you thieves while the rest wallow in poverty.
And other government workers don't even receive 5% of what they are earning. Hmmmmmm, God have mercy on us
This does not explain how these MPs put up mansions in their first year in office. Where do they get all the extra money from? Parliament itself is a den of criminals and dubious individuals with ulterior motives.
ssnit contribution of 3,300 cedis, income tax of 15,900 cedis and net take home salary of 40,800 cedis. Well, well,.......
No wonder that a jackass like Captain Smart also wants to be a Parliamentarian. Even Kwame A Plus is a Parliamentarian. What the heck!
They have doubled their salary but do not want to pay nurses, teachers, etc. That is the political landscape in Africa. Loot and share!!!
Ordinary folks are struggling. These low-class MPs are smiling at the banks
This is criminal. Parliament, politicians are greedy noisy Bandits. Robbing 35million Ghanaians for their personal comfort. We are fools, voting for these Bandits.

Civil servants should advise themselves on these politicians who don't care about government workers
The new government is working hard and deserves the goodies
I suggest that ordinary working class take home 1250 Ghana cedis
Wicked politicians evil people you increase your salary by 100% God kill you all evil people KWAASHIAAFO
Why should they be taking more when the cedi is stronger? The NDC has failed to protect the public purse.
The government should not complain anymore if workers request for pay rise. If MP salaries have been doubled, it means that the money is there for pay increases
To me if they do the work that is expected from them it is ok to hear that they are getting that amount 60,000 Ghana Cedis because it is not up to 5000 Euro a month.
Let’s consolidate their salary to avoid paying allowances to them. Since allowances are sources of fraud. Strong Ghana means tough decisions
Clogsag and Tuc must listen well and advice themselves...
