The Government Statistician, Professor Samuel Kobina Annim, has said workers in the public sector are generally overpaid for work done
The Government Statistician said averagely, public sector workers were paid double for their output.
Delivering his inaugural lecture at the University of Cape Coast, Prof. Annim said while earnings averaged about GH¢3,420 for the public sector worker, output in the sector averaged about GH¢1,420, less than half the earnings.
Prof. Annim said workers should be made to account for their output.
