When it comes to money being dole out to parliamentarians etc, there is no hesitation. Mahama upon assuming office, issued a directive examining his salary with astronomical increment with four years back pay. Any sense here?

If the government becomes that insensitive, the end result is what we are seeing. I hope the Doctors will not renege but rather go on a lock-down strike to teach our elected officials some commonsense.

Doctors, we support you in your fight against the imperialism of the NDC ignoramuses and shameless kleptomaniac parliamentarians (govt & opposition), of which the majority are stark illiterates whose deficient services are un-meritorious for the lunatic fringe benefits they forcefully allocate themselves.

John Dramani Mahama is the most useless and most hopeless Leader ever produced in this country.

Now is the time for civil rebellion against the stealing spree politicians and NDC government.

You must be as blind and un-objective as a bat. What oath of allegiance to Ghana did Mahama swear when he was sworn in as president??? Did he now sweare to take care of Ghanaians and Ghana's business?

If he did that our monies will be well managed and there would be enough money to pay everyone. As it is and I hope you are objective to know that departmental and ministerial budgets have been overspent by the hundreds of millions and the President has not taken any action against or asked the people responsible any questions about the overspent and accounted for what has been done with the overspent.

The sheer incompetence and lack of accountability and transparency is what is driving the country bankrupt and so allegedly no money to pay for workers while there is money to backpay incompetent mps who lost their seats in the last election.

For the mean time workers have not been paid for 6 months and it is fine by you PLONKER! AND NATION DESTROYER!

In addition to not being paid when on strike the government must introduce legislation to compell the leadership of labour unions to ballot their members for support beore calling for strike. To be able to call for strike there must be 2/3 or 66% majority from members vote. This will stop the leadrship disturbing our peace with rampant illegal strike we are witnessing now

Life is getting harder in Ghana everyday. Our democracy is not working. I don't see any difference between a military or civilian government. Something has to change in Ghana very soon. The onus is on President Mahama.

May someone ask the minister of energy for me if a Country like Ghana which is entangled with strikes here and there should consider using nuclear energy to generate electricity?. Emmanuel kofi Buah,please know that you were not appionted by the president to push us into our graves. Ghana had the men and women scientists.But the question is do we have the required laboratory,the money,patriotism,selflessness to conduct critical and effective soil and water bodies analysis in case of nuclear disaster?. Again,do we have the honesty,sincerity to monitor those things to make sure that toxic materials does not get into wrong hands,and the money to do that?.Kofi Buah,please let us cut our style according to the size of our clothes.For,as a Country,Ghana had not been able to manage mosquitoes,waterbodies,electricity,education,latrines,agrarian farming,diary products,poultry etc,etc for several centuries.

A woman orders a chicken sand which and starts to choke. People are running frantically, trying to figure out what to do. A Husband and wife sitting in the corner whisper to each other and run in front of the choking lady. One strips out of her dress, bends over butt naked in front of her husband. Her husband proceeds to lick the wife's ass.

Upon seeing this, the lady vomits forcing the lodged food from her throat. After making sure the lady is OK, the two couple return to their food.

One turns to the other and says, "Wow, that hind-lick maneuver really works!

At a time that teachers, doctors, pharmacists, nurses and the most needed in the society were taking industrial actions or threatening one to demand better conditions and improved benefits,it was very unfortunate and untimely that government would go ahead and pay ex-gratia of millions of dollars to former parliamentarians. If they are more important than doctors and teachers as one of them foolishly claimed, why didn't they go on strike to see whether ghanaians would have felt any impact of their strike...but when doctors, teachers, nurses go on strike, the citizenry feels the impact immediately, with lives at stake...no matter how the beneficiaries of the ex-gratia would argue to defend the payment, the timing of it was wrong...and so if doctors are embarking on a strike action to demand their more deserved benefits, they are more than right and that is why i reluctantly support them in their industrial action, come monday

pay the doctors what they deserve for work done , stop stiffing them and giving huge emoluments to taxi drivers turned MP.
In the USA nurse practitioners and physician assistant cannot work independently , they have to work under supervision of s physician , that is why the state boards of medicine require that they have a collaborative agreement signed by a physician who will be supervising them and another doctor who will do that in the absence of the first doctor.
they definitely cannot work independently , the day they are allowed to do so will see a rise in malpractice suits against them and a rise in malpractice premiums for them , that will be the day trial lawyers will be wearing a wide grin from cheek to cheek salivating over the coming opportunity to rake in billions!
