ReportGhana’s email box has been full of complaints as numerous frontline doctors and nurses who have received their payslips and salary alerts have expressed their disappointment to Reportghana.Com after the 50% salary increment President Akufo Addo promised fails to materialize.

Some angry Ghana health professionals who sent us email have confirmed to us that, the said promise has not been materialized and therefore pleads on the Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD) which remains the authorized body for the payment of government workers to do so.
