The proposed Independent Public Emoluments Commission replacing Fair Wages will link performance of SOEs to salaries - Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has said the proposed Independent Public Emoluments Commission (IPEC), which is to replace the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC), will ensure that salaries and other compensation of chief executives and board members of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are linked to the performance of their institutions.

Dr George Smith-Graham, Chief Executive Officer of the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission, told the conference that his outfit and the Public Services Commission had piloted performance indicators in 15 institutions on the President's instructions last year.

President Mahama said board chairpersons, chief executives, managing directors and management teams of SOEs and other specified entities would be required to cooperate fully with SIGA and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission during the transition to the new body.
