The National Pension Regulatory Authority has been petitioned by the Health Services Workers Union and the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) to release their eight-month pension arrears.

The two unions lamented that their earnings were being deducted from their two-tier pensions, which were not being deposited into the appropriate accounts.

Perpetual Ofori Ampofo, the president of the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association, urged the authorities to offer some justification for their actions.

“Month after month, we see these monies deducted and clearly shown on our payslips. But they don’t reflect in our pension scheme. We check our statements, and there’s nothing there. At the end of the day, where is the money?” Perpetual Ofori Ampofo enquired.
