    The President must, if possible, Roll-back the excesses in his latest salary increases. This will put pressure on the parliamentarians to do the same, hence, the 'war' on salary structures would ease-off naturally.

    And stupidly increasing the salaries of MPs and giving them fat rent allowances while other workers recieve peanuts amounts to discrimination and stealing.

  • DAN 11 years ago

    For the first time i support the doctors on the strike action. Why should MPs who are not working and doing anything for the country take ¢ 50,000.00 as rent allowance for 2 years, whiles our doctors suffer, usually under ve ...

    Mahama in his own wisdom, sat down and gave the green light for all MPs to be given a hooping 50,000 cedis for rent. The question is why? Are the MPs working for free? Why can't they foot their rent like any other Ghanaian? ...

  • liv 11 years ago

    I support them, but let's be fair, our doctors are not well trained like the doctors in the "70s and '80's. After the strike let them all take the board exams in the UK and US and pay the qualified well.
