The Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, has given an insight into the amount of money earned by office cleaners at Parliament as monthly salary. In proceedings monitored by Plan B News, Murtala Mohammed who was drawing an analogy of how the 1.75 Electronic Transaction levy will affect such category persons said that his interaction with the cleaners has revealed that they earn GH$400 monthly.
He was concerned that in the event that a relative of any of the cleaners suffer ill-health and require GH¢200 to receive medical care that cleaner would still have to pay a lippy on that amount.
“I interacted with the cleaners at Parliament. The day before yesterday (Thursday, December 16) one of them came to meet our floor and I asked her. How much are you paid monthly and the lady said they pay them GH$400. Such a lady, the mother is sick in the village and they need GH$200 to get her medicine.
How much are you paid monthly and the lady said they pay them GH$400. Such a lady, the mother is sick in the village and they need GH$200 to get her medicine or take her to the hospital. The lady out of the GH$400 she is paid, decides to send GH$200 to the mother. According to Ursula Owusu’s logic, that lad can’t say to be poor,” he said.
