Captain Smart reveals secret salaries of powerful government officials

The morning show host of Adom FM, Captain Smart, has listed the salaries and allowances of top government officials in Ghana.
Captain Smart, known best for his fight against corruption, has decried the deteriorating state of affairs in Ghana despite the huge salaries and allowances that the very leaders appointed to work are taking home every month.
“Ghana is heading towards a financial reckoning because of exorbitant privileges. There are too many public employees doing little work and getting crazy salaries and benefits at the expense of the taxpayer,” Captain Smart wrote.

The anti-corruption fighter does not believe top public officials must be paid such high salaries when in fact their output and productivity at work is appalling.
“This is not a knock against public service individuals but this is a knock against the system that employs them,” he revealed. Below is the full list of salaries Captain Smart listed:

1. Governor of the Bank of Ghana – GHC 124,100

This amount is the highest salary that any government appointee takes home on a monthly basis. Dr. Ernest Addison is the man who supervises the entire banking sector in Ghana today.
