Independent Presidential Candidate Promises to introduce Half Month Salary to Workers

The only independent presidential candidate in the upcoming December 7 polls, Mr. Alfred Kwame Asiedu Walker, has promised to pay workers twice every month should he win the presidency. In his view, it will ensure that workers’ lives are improved so they give off their best.

He said this while addressing the Ga Mantse Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru II and his entourage.

“Should we make it, I have also proposed a bi-weekly salary policy”, Walker said.

“Payday must be two weeks”, he emphasized, adding that “I see no reason why someone who is being paid GHS500 or GHS1,000 a month, shouldn’t get half of it every two weeks so they are relieved of their problems”.

He noted, “there are people who have borrowed money before the month ends, and they can’t even pay their rent”.

“There are those who have borrowed money to cater for their children in hospitals, and they can’t even pay the arrears.

“So, yes; we are going to institute this policy that is done elsewhere in the world”, he noted.
