EducationGhana| July 17|2022 COLA not possible to be paid in July, expect it in August -TEWU:
The General Secretary of the Teachers and Educational Workers Association (TEWU), Mr Mark Denkyira Kwakye, has said that the Cost of Living Allowance expected to be paid from July 1, 2022, may not be paid at the end of July as expected by workers.
This he explained that might be because of the timing of the announcement and the system of work that happens at the Controller and Accountant General’s Department (CAGD).

Speaking on Adom Tv on July 15, 2022, the General Secretary said the July salary payment might have been already processed to be paid by CAGD and so if they are not able to pay which he believes will not work out, the payment will take effect in August with one-month arrears.
He further assured workers that should the COLA not reflect in July, they should not be surprised since its only institutions with self-accounting that can pay in July due to the fact that CAGD pays a higher number of workers.
