President John Dramani Mahama has pledged to improve pensions for retired workers as Ghana’s economy strengthens, saying senior citizens will benefit from the country’s economic recovery.
Speaking at the Republic Day Senior Citizens’ Luncheon in Accra, the President said his administration remains committed to rebuilding the economy while ensuring retirees receive improved support.
“I pledge to our senior citizens that as the economy improves, we will improve not only wages and salaries for the active working population but also improve pensions for those who have sacrificed tirelessly for our dear nation, Ghana,” he said.
Mahama stated that the government’s economic strategy is focused on expanding production, creating jobs and increasing exports.
“We’re investing in skills, technology, manufacturing and value addition because we believe that Ghana must become a nation that produces more, exports more and creates prosperity for all,” he said.
He said the measures are intended to support economic growth while ensuring senior citizens share in its benefits.
