President John Dramani Mahama has announced a revised salary structure for personnel of the Ghana Armed Forces, set to take effect in March 2026, in a move aimed at strengthening welfare and boosting morale within the military.
The decision, according to government sources, follows extensive consultations with defence leadership and financial experts to ensure the new pay framework aligns with existing public sector standards while responding to the growing demands placed on military personnel. Although exact figures have not been made public, officials say the revision will apply across all ranks.
Military groups have welcomed the announcement, describing it as a timely response to rising living costs and long-standing calls for improved compensation.
The government has indicated that further details on implementation will be released in the coming weeks to clarify how service members will benefit from the changes.
Will this salary adjustment be enough to sustainably improve morale and retention within the Ghana Armed Forces?
