Following a drastic decrease in their December pay, there is growing discontent among the Ghana Police Service's rank and file.

The gap in salaries barely two weeks after the general elections of 7 December 2020 is fueling speculation that the recent upward change in their salaries has increased to potentially impact them in the run-up to the general election.

On social media sites, many of them are already protesting with numerous comments voicing frustration, regret, and with some claiming they have been taken for granted.

One comment read, “December is here ,and as usual ,government workers would be taken salaries earlier than usual , what the officers are saying is that ,Salary adjustments announced in November and paid successfully are nowhere to be found , It has flipped , flopped and disappeared subsequently”

Rumors were rampant in November, barely a month before the December 7 elections, that the Service's more than 23,000 employees, for example, were shocked with a pay raise of over 100 percent across the board.
