Reggae/Dancehall artiste, Ras Kuuku
Reggae/Dancehall artiste Ras Kuuku has questioned why some Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) and Managing Directors (MDs) of state enterprises are paid huge monthly wages.
He was responding to the issue of the GH¢70,000 paid monthly to the former Managing Director of the State Insurance Company (SIC), which was trending on social media.
The prolific singer insisted that he is baffled and does not understand why the president, who appointed these CEOs and MDs, earns less in monthly remuneration.
“Seriously, if you read or hear some of the monthly salaries these State CEOs and MDs receive, it’s quite huge, but I don’t really know how much the President receives,” he stated, as MyNewsGh.com listened.
“Even if the President receives 25K, it’s nowhere close or compared to what these CEOs and MDs get because we are talking about some people who are taking 90K or more every month.
“But these CEOs and MDs are appointed by the President, so how come that they take more monthly salary than the one who gave them their position? I’m baffled,” he queried in an interview with Amansan Krakye.
