Dr. Pelpuo who faced Parliament’s Appointments Committee on January 30, emphasized that any adjustments should be based on the country’s economic capacity and overall preparedness.
Against this backdrop, he backed the need for broad national consensus before making such a significant policy change, highlighting the importance of inclusive dialogue in shaping the future of Ghana’s workforce.
According to him,“There’s a lot of talk about increasing the retirement age now, some say up to 65 years, some say up to 70 years, but they are still strong why should they retire? I think it should come as a result of a harmonious decision. We will need to reconsider or consider whether it’s time for us to do it or not.”
