Former Tamale Central MP Alhaji Inusah Fuseini has declared that the 1992 Ghanaian Constitution does not allow for ex-gratia payments to Article 71 officeholders.
He stated that these public workers are only entitled to retirement benefits after their tenure of service, a notion that has been given the moniker ex-gratia by the general public.
As a result, Fuseini has advocated for the elimination of Article 71 officeholders' retirement benefits.
He claims they are out of date since MPs and other Article 71 officeholders are contract workers who must collect their retirement benefits at the conclusion of their term.
"Ex-gratia, ex-gratia, ex-gratia, ex-gratia, ex-gratia, ex-gratia, ex-gratia, ex-gratia, ex- Ex-gratia is a term coined by common people and used to payments made to Members of Parliament. In the constitution, there is no provision for ex-gratia. On JoyNews' PM Express on Wednesday, June 8, Alhaji Inusah Fuseini said, "The constitution states they should pay you retirement benefits."
He clarified that the pension plan to which MPs contribute is not to be confused with retirement benefits.
"...No, because you're a freelancer." You work for four years and then you're no longer employed. As a result, your retirement benefits will be computed using your pay.
"This isn't the case; the premise is completely different." It's all around the world, with the utmost regard. In fact, it's known as gratuity in the United Kingdom. It was even referred to as gratuity by the Apasera court.
"You work, you're paid a salary, and when your contract finishes, they pay you a part of your income as gratuity," Alhaji Inusah Fuseini explained.
"I think there is some type of conspiracy, and that is what is invoking the people's wrath," he said, "that you can't put a class of people together and treat them differently." So, when His Excellency John Mahama was in charge, I recall this problem being taken very seriously, quite publicly, and he believed that the Presidential Emoluments Committee should be established.
"It should not be done at the request of a sitting President." And you don't have to alter the members every time there's a new parliament until you replace some who are deceased or can't perform, in which case they take decisions."
