the short memory of these so called journalists is worrying . look at what this same bagbin did as minister or works and housing , there its more evident his corrupt unscrupulous lying character in the stx , chinese and numerous take money for myself only dealings . bagbin has the reputation of being the most corrupt minister after mahama then vice himself so who are we joking here . we now see the caliber and nature of all these useless ministers by just looking in their waiting rooms . during the time of npp you would go to these same waiting rooms and see people in suits and other attire waiting to do business today the transformation is you see young ashawo girls , boys in t shirts and all kinds of crazy ass idiots waiting to collect monies from whoever , none are there for any govt business talk less of anything beneficial to the state . the business community has now shied away from having anything to do with these criminals and their anti Akan agenda . kwasea pepeni has destroyed all unity left and so we must continue to prepare for the revolution and war. it seems even their own gen mosquito is slowly coming to his senses and seeing the pain and suffering of his own people , i guess the syndrome of the prodigal son is now getting through to the Akans among them . long live the republic of Akan

Exactly Nana, the genesis of our present economic predicament is due to two things ;
1. The SSSS salary structure consuming 75% of government revenue is untenable. We were using 25% of government revenue for the same purpose in 2008. USA spend only 4% of federal budget on government workers. Europe on average spend 10% of government revenue on government workers salaries.
2. The government has grown too big. We have 700,000 government workers with about 690 working at the Presidency. As recently as 2008, we had 550,000 government workers and this Ndc government for the past five years has added 150,000 workers to the government payroll.
We need to cut this number to 350,000. We need only 10 Ministries, 150 Parliamentarians.
Government should stop providing housing and free utilities to Ministers, Parliamentarians and Judges. This colonial mentality has outlived its usefulness.

Opaning Tawia, I appreciate your reconciliatory comment. I can imagine your likeness to a university professor because you have based on my conclusion to ask a sound question. You see, if there is any Blackman who has influenced my perceptions about social interventions, it is no one else than Nana Otumfour Osei Tutu (II), the occupant of the Golden Stool. His agenda on broadening opportunities through education to reach every Ghanain; Ewes, Northerners and Akans all alike is unprecedented. Discerning Ghanaians could easily see that, it was this project Nana Addo intended to expand by his Free For All education from Pre KG to the Senior High. What is unbecoming of Nana is his perceived alliance with a failed leadership which has a tendency of bringing the Ashanti heritage into disrepute. That is my concern. Just as he lauds Mahama on whatever he in his judgment perceives to be lauded, he is expected to tell him equally that, he has no vision for Ghana's future generation. His government is made of babies and looting brigade. Every Ghanaian knows this. Nana must display his double edged sward. So Opaning Osei Tawia once again I thank you for your intervention. May God expand your knowledge. Please send my goodwill to Dadebee. Tell him I meant no harm.

What is stupid about what the Asantehene is saying? From your response, I can tell you don't understand what you read. How can you use 60-70% of total tax receipts to pay for officials?

I think the Otumfuo is right here. It appears the SSSS issue was not well though out by the Kufuor administration. The NDC too in order not to lose their political capital after the election of 2008, did not have the guts or "balls" to abandon the SSSS policy and this has created an enormous problem for NDC. Considering the fact that more people and sectors are yet to be placed on this program, the NDC can be bold enough right now to scrap it once and for all as being suggested by the Otumfuo. Yes, it is definitely going to anger folks with more industrial unrest, just as what happened in Greece, but this is the time to do it. We still have 3 good years to correct the mistake before the next election. More education is needed by the government to be able to cancel it. Otumfuo's advice is a wise one.

The SSSS which was put together by serious brains but was implemented by the likes of Fifi Kwetey would most definitely have problems, because, the mental capacity to understand it, let alone appreciate it and implement it, is not there. The economic growth and development to support the policy has also lost it's bearing wholly because, the economic brains to drive the growth again, is just not there. Corruption has become an official gov't policy initiated right from the Flagstaff house, and has taken over all governance structures. Now, we know one of them was aiming for 1 million dollars. How much are the rest aiming for? Can we safely say, that the public debt profile is a direct consequence of machinations by the corruption riddled Mahama/Amissah Arthur administration's penchant to amass various dollars amounts in millions and billions? The only slavation from the rot is by voting the NDC gov't out in 2016, fact.

If the data is correct, how can a country sustain paying 70% of its revenue to about 700,000 people most of them inefficient compared to their counterparts in other countries? A lot of workers don't even work the full hours they are paid for in Ghana without any punishment. There are many wise and smart people in Ghana and I hope they don't remain silent to say their opinions. Comrades; if we don't live within our means and continue this path then very soon, we will have nothing left let alone secure our children's future. I hope we live to be hopeful of the future.

Those of you who have no manners and very uncivilized, and because of your hatred against Ashanti's so you will disrespect the Ashanti king, let me remind you that you will not always have the privilege to hide the screen and one day you exhibit your immaturity in a public place which will land you into trouble. What was Otumfuo's crime that you will disrespect him through this media? To owners of Ghanaweb you should soon start embark on house cleaning projects and regulations to filter out the bad posts before you probably loss your license and privilege to operate. I never comment on this network but my heart dropped for the foul language used and I felt I should speak a little bit. It doesn't matter the tribe that you fall in but we should all realized that we have values in Ghana and we are again taught to respect elders and leaders. Don't loss your manners as you grow and think you live in Ghana and you have all rights to express your opinion. Never forget if you do go over your limits you will face the law and you will be dealt with as much as the law has provided for such an action. Please be courteous and remember to represent Ghana in a better way. Thank you

The real issue facing Ghana and Ghanaian Leaders is our inability to recognize what is fiscally DOABLE AND ATTAINABLE and make decisions based on economic viability on our productivity and output of the nation.
There are three (3)issues that must be done to lesse the burden of the single spine pay structure.
It is either to reduce all salaries by about 25% to the level before the single spine and/ or cut all benefits enjoyed by public(government) employees.
What we are seeing in Ghana is excesses in government payroll from the president down to ordinary laborer employed by the government. President's salary, Ministers salary, Judiciary salaries and parliamentarians salaries have been doubled and even tripled because of single spine whereas our productivity has decreased and everybody is cutting corners in their own way to enrich themselves. The problem facing Ghana is foremost greed and the attitude of chop and let me chop. Eventually, the top is going to fall off and unless we all agree to come to reasonable consensus and accept economic reality of free enterprise the whole country will eventually dis inergrate. The problem facing Ghana was started from both NPP and NDC. and cannot be solved by one administration. It is a proposition that either we all agree to reform and change or we disintergrate. There is no economy in this whole world that can support over 70% governmental payroll and benefit system without regard of development of infra structure, payment of debt service and without planning for the future. We are caught up in a proverbial Julius Ceaser Syndrome, " THE FAULT DEAR BRUTUS IS NOT IN OUR STARS BUT THE FAULT DEAR BRUTUS IS IN OURSELVES". LONG LIVE GHANA!

He could do more to safe Ghana and Africa as a President than as a King. Let's keep our dreams for him to resign from the STOOL, like Pope Benedict from the Vatican. He is more smarter than Nkrumah.
KWAKU YOUR ARE SO STUPID,IF HE ATTEMPTS TO RESIGN, WE ARE GOING TO KILL HIM. BECAUSE ASANTEHENE IS NOT DESTOOLED NOR RESIGNS.YES HE SO SMART AS NDC PEOPLE,THEY ARE ALL CIMINALS.
ARE YOU IN NEED OF A FAST POWERFULL SPIRITUALIST?THEN GO TO www.greatnanapowerfullspiritualist.blogspot.com
So much for only a few of the population and yet they are not satisfied. Day in day out they want more. I agree with Otumfuo. Let's scrap it so we can see the difference.
am sad bcos of politics ppl can insult this respected chief on this platform. no no no!
HOW MUCH JET OIL DID MAHAMA BOUGHT FOR YOUR USE OF HIS JET. IT IS CORRUPTION.
Shut the fuck up,When you finish spending your Bribe Money then come back and talk about single spine. Nonsense
The Asantehene should have kept his comments about the Single Spine Salary. To argue that 70 percent of the national revenue is used to pay the salaries of public servant is to accept the government propaganda. The Asantehene ...

What is stupid about what the Asantehene is saying? From your response, I can tell you don't understand what you read. How can you use 60-70% of total tax receipts to pay for officials?
OGYIMIFOU HENE - THE ASHANTI'S HAVE EVER HAD
Can anyone name any country that uses the so called Single Spine? SS is waste of money and not affordable.
I think the Otumfuo is right here. It appears the SSSS issue was not well though out by the Kufuor administration. The NDC too in order not to lose their political capital after the election of 2008, did not have the guts or ...

NOW YOU KNOW THAT SHUT UP
Then the NPP professionals shd not instigate unnecessary strike actions to wreck the nation .
Corrupt officials shd be prosecuted whether NPP or NDC as said by Otumfuo .

MAHAMA SHOT THE DEPUTY AT THE FOOT. WHO IS NEXT?

VIC HAMMAH TOOK VERY GOOD CARE OF AKONFEM-HENE MAHAMA IN BED AND THAT WAS WHY SHE GOT REWARDED WITH THIS POST
Oh is this our dear nation Ghana or...? No respect for the our leaders. Why do u insult Otumfuo Oh God is this Ghana? We got to turn over a new leaf this is bad indeed!
one person should not be allowed soo much gold as jewelry as millions of people around him are starving....It is time asantes abolish this chieftaincy...Otumfuo is not ashamed to flaunt his gold
NPP'S LEADERS ARE THE CAUSE
NPP LEATHERS ARE THE CAUSE.......
When People were saying that EC should not create the 45 MPs they were being called names. That time where were our Chiefs? NDC was strongly pushing for the creation of the 45 MPs. "The NDC wish for war now they have it"
I have said the same thing and I agree with Nana 100%. If the data is correct, how can a country sustain paying 70% of its revenue to about 700,000 people most of them inefficient compared to their counterparts in other count ...
