Former CEO of the Ghana Chamber of Mines and a member of the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral Secretariat, Reverend Dr. Joyce Rosalind Aryee says any employer who pays SSNIT without paying tier 2 is an armed robber and must be arrested
According to her, the Bible states that every human should respect authorities, explaining that, Auntie Joyce said respecting authorities’ forces to exercise discipline in fulfilling obligations such as paying taxes, making nation contribution and therefore if any employer who pays SSNIT of his workers without tier 2 is just a robber even if not armed.
“Respect authorities and National law, 1 Peter to 13 encourages us to respect authorities, not just a face value but have respect for God and the hierarchy created to establish order in the society. And so you therefore submit yourself to every ordinance of man for the Lord sake whether to the King or Queen”
“And if any employer is here who is just paying SSNIT without the Tier 2, let me say that, that person is a robber even if not armed”
“Respect authorities keeps in checks and forces to exercise discipline in fulfilling our obligations such as pay taxes, making nations contributions and so on”
Speaking at the S.H Amissah Memorial Lecture, an annual event of the Methodist Church of Ghana which took place at the Wesley Cathedral, Accra the former Minister states that, it is from the tier two that one will get the bulk money they retire from work while tier one will be given as the monthly payment however if they refuse to pay the tier two there wouldn’t be any money when workers o on retirement.
“because it is from the tier 2 that you will get the bulk money when you retire whiles the tier 1 will be given you the monthly payment so if you don’t pay the tier 2 you will not get any bulk money when you go on retirement”
“some are even collecting the tier 1 and not paying”
The Lay Chairman for Accra Diocese, Sister Agatha Nana Ama Ennim Osei who hosted the program, S.H Amissah Memorial Lecture, an annual event of the Methodist Church of Ghana which took place at the Wesley Cathedral calls on ladies to strive very hard and make sure they make it in life
According to her although making life as a woman is very challenging however despite the environment they find themselves, she thinks they can make good use of the available resources useful and build their capacity.
“You know we celebrated women in this week, it is not easy as lady, the advice I would like to give to our ladies is that, at times, some of the challenges we face are still in the system even though it is a bit down, what I will say is that despite the environment we find ourselves, we should strive hard, make use of the resources available to us and build our capacity”
She further explained that women were created to assist men, that tells they have a special thing that God knows they can use to help
She therefore calls on all women to come out from their shells and bring out the talent in them.
“God created us specifically to come and assist men which tells that there is something special in us that God knows we can use to amend things, so let’s come out from our shells and divulge our talents”
