The Deputy Minister-designate for Trade and Industry, Dr Stephen Amoah, says he will accept a reduction in his salary if the Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, is willing to do same.

In recent times, there have been calls for government appointees to consider a reduction in their salaries to help salvage the economy.

On the back of this, the Minority Leader, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, during the vetting of the nominee, asked Dr Amoah if he would like to take a salary cut in the interest of the public purse.

But responding to this, Dr Stephen Amoah said he will embrace the suggestion only if the NDC lawmaker will do same.

“Mr Chairman, I think I said something here; my knowledgeable Dr Ato Forson and I, the only difference is the height.

“So the way we are brothers if he sees me on the corridor and he says brother, let us cut [our salaries] and he cuts his, I will cut mine”, Dr Amoah said.
