The anti-corruption campaigner believes these
top officials never deserve these salaries
– The BoG governor, according to Captain Smart’s
list, is the highest paid official.
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.

corrupted or stooped so low to be bribed by any
of them.
