Many Parliamentary staff earn salaries for doing nothing – Bagbin fires

The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has hit out at Parliamentary Service staff who do very little but receive salaries from the state.

According to him, a significant number of the staff are contributing nothing, yet are paid at the end of every month.

He noted that a lack of monitoring and supervision by managers of various units in Parliament has aided in the current dire situation.
