AUTHOR : SULE******
.............It seems the NDC gov't is running against time to send Ghana into the pits and it is extremely worrying, very, very worrying that, such a magnitude of ineptness, incompetence, recklessness and corruption can be brought to bear on our governance structures in such a crass manner. This Fortiz/Merchant bank deal deal from all indications is putrid, it stinks to the high heavens and nothing can justify such an atrocious deal, when Ghanaian taxpayers, from all indications are not getting any VALUE FOR MONEY in this stinking deal. Omane Boamah, MD should seek to explain why an equity firm which cannot even boast of the asset base to even acquire a non-financial banking license, should be made to take on this onerous task of not even a merger, but a full complete acquisition of Merchant bank, when Ghanaian taxpayers, have been offered far, far better VALUE FOR MONEY propositions from identifiable bodies with a portfolio of assets eclipsing over 100 billion dollars? It is indeed mindboggling the level of impunity and recklessness which has been unleashed on the affairs on governance by this NDC gov't. Ghana indeed deserves better than this recklessness which is permeating all facets of governance in this country. It's awfully pathetic.

we dont need no messiah bullshit talk to mislead our people into fantasy , God has said there can be only one messiah and the rest are fakes and liars , only leaders who truly believe in justice and the rule of law will ensure prosperity. our people based on their own competence and being rewarded on merit will secure together with common sense a sustainable development. vision was a matter of the middle ages , today its about science , proper strategy and hard work. look at all the countries that succeeded , was it about visionary leaders or systems of governance that secured basic freedoms and human rights. America had George Washington who had the good sense not to declare himself king or president for life like nkrumah . Germany willy Brandt and so on. We have a system of governance and a political party that despises and hates its own people . A judiciary which is as useless as toilet paper because it does know what a penal code is , what is punishment with the hope of rehabilitation rather puts young men in jail for 45 years , confirms rigged elections and enabled wanton theft based on judgement debts . we need a bloody revolution in order the clean this nonsense up and reestablish governance based on common sense , justice and real love for our people and their prosperity

Those who can't work becos of their wages and salaries are small should leave. There are other people who want job. These workers have got to make living. What about those who don't have job?

President Mahama cannot continue to raise taxes, while keeping wages the same. As the government increase taxes, generally, prices of everything also goes up, which means, the number of the poor also goes up.

To increase tax, you must also increase wages. This NDC government does not need to take nation management 101 at Lagon.

NEGOTIATIONS ARE BETWEEN GOVT,TUC AND EMPLOYERS. HOW CAN ONE PARTY THREATEN THAT NEGOTIATIONS MUST BE DONE BY 1ST MAY OR ELSE.... JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE TEAMING NUMBERS OF WORKERS DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO FORCE AND DICTATE. THE OTHERS ALSO HAVE TO AGREE AND ALL 3 ARRIVE AT AN AGREED RATE. IF YOU DEMAND AND EMPLOYER SAYS THEY WONT PAY WHAT THEY DID NOT AGREE WHERE DO YOU STAND.

How there you say we should be concerned about the economy when you and your corrupt management have reduced governance into cronism and mediocrity. After you have conived with our traditional leaders to share our money on SUVs, what do you expect us to do. Shame. Will press you hard until you relinquish power. Thieves.

MPs and ordinary Ghanaians shop from the same market but with vast difference in buying power and what service do they render us other than yell in parliament "yeah, yeah'; .
The fools are becoming wise and the stupid more knowledgeable.

Must we sit unconcerned as Government threatens our very existence with its draconian taxes and ever increasing cost of living? That is the question to ask, not the decision of organized labour to resist the oppression. The TUC has the support of all Ghanaians, not just workers. WE ARE DYING UNDER THIS VERY OPPRESSIVE REGIME. WE ARE DYING !!!

when government increases tarries arbitrarily is he doing any good to workers especially when no salaries have not been increased so far. I fully support TUC
