In a recent communication dated 7th March 2025, the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana addressed its temporary staff regarding the payment of allowances for their services during the just-ended General Election. The letter, signed by Mrs. Jean Mensa, Chairperson of the EC, expressed gratitude to the staff for their professionalism and dedication, which contributed to a peaceful, credible, and transparent election.
The EC acknowledged the delay in disbursing election-related allowances and apologized for the inconvenience caused. They assured staff that efforts are underway to secure funds from the Ministry of Finance, and payments will be made promptly once the funds are released. The Commission also emphasized its understanding of the staff’s concerns and thanked them for their patience.
