The government has formally begun discussions about raising the military's pay, benefits, and other compensation.

"We are going through a difficult time in the history of our country …. We are going through difficult times in our economy. We also going through a difficult time as far as security is concerned” the President told the men and women in uniform.
"On the economy, we are all aware of the events that have taken place in the last year which has brought a lot of things under strain.
"We are making every effort in negotiations that are taking place with foreign partners to put our economy back in a good space. Very soon the difficulties that confront our economy are going to be things of the past.
"I want to encourage you to continue the good work that you’re doing for our country. I encourage you to stand firm in your loyalty to the Republic, your loyalty to the Constitution of our nation so that the orderly, peaceful development of our country which is the only way that can guarantee the future prosperity we are all working for can come about…. So that these [present] generations of Ghanaians will leave as our legacy, that even when things were difficult in Ghana, we all held together under our Republican institutions and our constitution to find a way to a better future for our nation. I am confident that we can do it and I am counting on you to help me do it." The President Ended.
