The Secretary of the University Teachers Association of Ghana - University of Ghana chapter (UG-UTAG), Professor Ransford Gyampo has asked President Akufo-Addo to provide proof that the salaries of all political appointees have been reduced by 30 percent.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo speaking at this year’s Eid-ul-Adha prayers yesterday in Accra said: "We are all going to have to make some sacrifices to afford us the space to navigate the troubled waters of the current economic difficulties. The expenditure of ministries, departments, and agencies has been cut by 30 percent. The salaries of all appointees including myself have been reduced by 30 percent. Fuel coupon allocations have been slashed by 50 percent and other expenditures suspended"
However, Prof. Gyampo is skeptical.
In a Facebook post he wrote: "Mr President unless we see the pay slip of appointees, we are unable to trust the refrain that their salaries have been reduced by 30%. We live with them and know their opulent lifestyles haven’t changed even in the days of hardship. We need evidence..."

What sort of evidence does this ***barred word*** wants?. Even when a video evidence about him sleeping with students for grades came out, he still denied it.
Ei, this 'prof'! Did you ever hear 10% salary cut by that incompetent man, and what did you say? Did they show you evidence?
This is ridiculous and petty for your stature!
Between you Prof and the President I trust the President more. A sh@meless prof. I think you are becoming a d!sgrace to the Academic fratenity with your quick and uninformed utterances seeking to make the president unpopular. With the right to information passed by this givernment, you could easily access this so called eveidence from the Controller and Accountant General. Shaaaaame unto you!
This professor is one of the ***barred word*** academicians who are walking encyclopedia with ***barred word*** knowledge. How are dare you to call the president to bring evidence. If you are professor who worth it salt, you would have conducted investigation from the Controller and the Accountant General office before you open your quick silver mouth. He is not matured and was born in 1977 so even Rawlings 1979 coup, he was one year four months old. Also he hails from Saltpond, Prabiw Street known for notorious activities that has given the town a bad name. They have a saying 'I am from Prabiw we don't fear police. Nobody should get me wrong I am also from Saltpond I know what I am talking about. This kind of altitude has come over this good for nothing professor.
Amazing!!. A professor joining propaganda wagon to seek attention for himself. Very strange because we know that professors add wisdom to public discourse and do not do the kind of propaganda Assoc. Professor Gyampo is engaged in. I am taken aback as a professor myself. Note that pay slips are confidential and we don't disclose except with the consent of the worker in question. It is freedom to speak ***barred word*** in Ghana.
Prof and my good friend and floor mate at Akuafo Hall Annex B. Pls temper decorum with over enthusiasm to please some people. Pls be yourself and don't over indulge. But who says people cannot speak in Ghana. People are speaking more than ever in Ghana. The irony is that it is the same people who are all over the place speaking who are the same time complaining of gagging. Funny isn't it. The likes of Mannaseh, Sule Braimah or whatever he calls himself. He is seriously working to be the next NDC government in probably 2029/33.
The evidence can be found in the SEX3 for grades platform .
Who does this Professor know it all want the President to send this evidence to? This democracy and freedom of speech, yet they turn around to complain that this same President they can freely demand evidence from , is suppressing freedom of speech.
