NAGRAT Gives one-week ultimatum to govt over unpaid pensions for 700K workers

The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has expressed deep concern over the government’s alleged failure to pay mandatory contributions for over 700,000 Ghanaian workers.
NAGRAT President, Angel Carbonu, accused the government of financial misconduct during a press conference on Thursday, April 18.

He specifically highlighted the non-payment of Tier 2 pension scheme contributions and other third-party deductions since July 2023.
Mr. Carbonu emphasized that these contributions are being deducted from workers’ salaries but not reaching the designated institutions.

This raises serious doubts, according to NAGRAT, about the future financial security of these workers, particularly upon retirement.
NAGRAT issued a one-week ultimatum to the government, demanding the immediate transfer of all outstanding deductions to the appropriate institutions.

Mr Carbonu said failure to comply with this ultimatum could result in taking further action to address what they perceive as financial malfeasance on the part of the government.
