The Fair Wages and Salaries Commission has dismissed comments by IMANI Ghana that government was spending too much on the single spine pay policy.IMANI said government was paying so much without demanding the commensurate productivity from public sector workers.The public sector wage bill has risen to almost six billion from a little over two billion Ghana cedis following the implementation of the scheme.Executive Director of IMANI Ghana Franklin Cudjoe says the situation can hurt the economy if public sector performance remains abysmal.However the Chief Executive of the commission George Smith Graham says IMANI’s position is uninformed.Mr. Graham said the scheme is not a bonanza as has been described by IMANI but designed to attract best brains into the public sector to draft policies for the private sector.He criticized IMANI and other the policy to think tank groups to whom copies of the policy were sent for inputs but failed to make any meaningful contribution.
