Recent claims over discontent and growing tensions at the NPP headquarters have sparked concerns among party members and the public alike.

However, it is important to address these allegations with a fair and balanced perspective, shedding light on the positive strides made in staff welfare under the leadership of General Secretary Justin Kodua Frimpong.

This article aims to set the record straight by highlighting the substantial improvements that have taken place during Mr. Frimpong's tenure.

Salaries on the Rise: One of the most significant accomplishments under Mr. Kodua Frimpong's administration is the considerable increase in staff salaries.

The lowest wage at the NPP headquarters has experienced a remarkable leap from GHS 400 to 1300, representing a commendable 375% increment.

Similarly, the highest wage has seen a substantial increase, reaching 3550 compared to the 1500 in the previous administration, showcasing a notable 233% increment.

This unprecedented salary increment is a testament to Mr. Frimpong's commitment to enhancing the financial well-being of the party's staff.

Comprehensive End-of-Year Packages

Addressing concerns about the distribution of end-of-year packages is crucial to understanding the overall welfare improvements.

Despite claims of discrimination, the staff now receive a comprehensive package that includes 1 bag of rice, 4 bottles of cooking oil, 10 pieces of mackerel, 10 pieces of tin tomatoes, and a cash bonus.

While some may argue that this seems imbalanced given the substantial salary hikes, it aligns with Mr. Frimpong's commitment to ensuring that the staff not only receive competitive salaries but also benefit from comprehensive welfare packages.

Equitable Compensation for Deputy Directors

Contrary to assertions, the claim that deputy directors are not well paid is unfounded. Under Mr. Kodua's leadership, there has been a commendable 100% increment in the salary of deputy directors. This underscores the administration's dedication to addressing disparities and ensuring that all levels of staff are fairly compensated for their contributions.

In conclusion, it is essential to recognise and appreciate the positive changes and improvements that have taken place under Justin Kodua Frimpong's leadership at the NPP headquarters.

The notion of discontent and comparisons with the previous administration do not accurately reflect the strides made in staff welfare, salary increments, and equitable distribution of resources.

As the party continues to face challenges, acknowledging the positive aspects and commendable efforts is crucial to securing a prosperous future for the NPP.

Setting the record straight allows for a more informed and constructive discussion surrounding the welfare and leadership at the NPP headquarters.
