We won’t take remunerations – Ghana @60 committee

The Ghana @60 planning committee have served notice they will not be taking remuneration for their time, skills and service on the committee within the period in which they would be rendering their services.

The members according to a statement signed by chairman of the committee, Ken Amankwa, members “resolved to forfeit any and all allowance(s) and/or remuneration which may be due them,” at their maiden meeting on Saturday, the 28th of January, 2017.

“The service to be rendered by the committee members will be strictly on a pro bono basis.

“This decision was largely motivated by H.E the President’s attitude towards public service, that is to say, selfless service to one’s homeland. Further, we are determined to religiously be guided by H.E. the President’s directive for members to be mindful of the difficult financial and economic circumstances of our country, regarding our 60th anniversary commemoration.

“We continue to count on the support and prayers of all Ghanaians in this endeavor,” the rest of the statement reads.

Ghana turns 60 on March 6, 2017 since its independence from British colonial masters in 1957.
