Independent Public Emoluments Commission bill expected in Parliament by November 2026
Ghana is preparing to introduce the Independent Public Emoluments Commission (IPEC) bill to parliament in November 2026. The commission aims to standardize and professionalize public sector pay structures across state-owned enterprises.
Why it matters
This reform is a major effort to improve fiscal sustainability and transparency in Ghana's public sector compensation.
The draft Bill for the establishment of the Independent Public Emoluments Commission (IPEC), is expected to be laid before parliament by November 2026. The bill will see the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission transition into IPEC for a more independent, transparent, and performance-driven public sector pay structure.
This was revealed at a stakeholders engagement with CEO’s of State Owned Enterprises, SOE’s. The stakeholder engagement brought together CEOs, Deputy CEOs, Finance and Human Resource Directors of more than 100 SOEs, as well as representatives of the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), Development Partners.
It forms part of a series of nationwide consultations being undertaken by the FWSC following President John Mahama’s declaration in March this year to transition the FWSC into IPEC.
