Nii Kinka, Cheap shot and low blow! Civil servants are the easy prey to attack but you must push the right bottom to energize mahama to utilize his energy to tackle the rampant corruption in his NDC government. Why jump over the audacious avarice and corruption in mahama administration to firing the poor civil servants whose wages and salaries are below the standard of living.
Enjoy your pickup truck from mahama.

Hmmm it seem you don't understand what the chief is talking about. Most civil servants go to work very late, that sit at the office to read newspaper or working lotto. they come back from lunch late and leave the office at 3pm. Do you know that people log onto facebook as soon as they get to the office in the morning? In addition, don't think that politicians are the only corrupt people in Ghana. the civil servants are more corrupt than politicians. just look at Ghana police service and CEPS and u will understand my point. We all need to be checking of each other for our dear country to move forward.

How did he know that? Did he take a tour to the offices to see what they go through daily? or even if there are jobs for them to do? Whether they have supervisors or not, whether they've been paid for the several months or not. Mind you our polititians get paid every month and it's always on time and they get paid very well come to think of it and what do they do? Nothing, nothing, nothing so please check your facts. OSU chief needs to clean his backyard, the trashy OSU roads, the shitting on the beach front etc. So please he the chief has nothing to offer. Another NDC punk. He might have received one of MAhamas 4x4 to ride around with. All these chiefs are all beggars. If you have stayed in Ghana you will have been corrupt too. It's survival of the fittest ok so being outside the country makes you see thing differently. So stop blaming the people that are doing their best to survive. Police, CEPS etc having being taking bribes for ever so I don't know where you're coming from. Check Rawlings out he came and killed people for the same thing he acquired so stop blaming the citizenry they are trying to survive. Nothing will change in Ghana ok nothing. It's a pitiful country and nothing will work to change anything.

The pot calling the kettle black. What productive activities do chiefs engage themselves in? And by the way, if this chief does not know, civil servants, even the lazy ones, pay taxes which the government uses to buy cars and donate to the chiefs - for free. Osu Mantse, please advise your fellow chiefs to stop accepting bribes by way of free cars from the government. Also, organize yourselves to become productive. Many chiefs in Ghana are nothing but parasites.

Dear Folks,
Nii's suggestion would have been in order, if the government (from the President to the least in government) was working. However, the government itself is unmeasurable LAZY. So disciplines who?

Just recall what Ofosu Kwakye said recently: that the recent demonstrations are indication that the government is doing well and that the President understands freedom of expression. What a psycho and non-performing Deputy Minister. Workers all over the country are rather trying to discipline and wake the govt up from slumber. Just listen to what the Vice-P also said about the economy doing well or picking up.

Does the govt have good indicators that tell them that the economy is either very sick or doing marginally well? They better listen what Dr. Nduom advised recently.

Please, let folks in Accra tell Osu Mantse that the govt can't discipline any "lazy" civil servants, if any at all. For many months (years) now the govt has not given MDAs the requisite funds (in terms of FEs) to get their jobs done. If Civil Servants have become lazy, the govt should take the blame. How do you blame or punish people for laziness when you have failed, woefully, to give them the tools and resources to deliver?

Sick Ghana created by a sick government - unprecedented in the history of the country!!

Osu mantse should tell us of just a single developmental projects he has done for his people. Ga chiefs are useless unlike our king Solomon ( Otumfour Asantehene)

Who is going to supervise who? You would go to a ministry in Accra and you see that half of the staff are not no office particularly the senior staff. It has been reported recently that Civil Service is recruiting a consultants to help them to develop staff appraisal system. So, no appraisal and staff development systems are not in place. No wonder civil servants have such a low productivity

THE EXECUTIVE IS LAZY & CORRUPT. THE JUDICIARY IS LAZY AND CORRUPT. THE LEGISLATURE IS LAZY AND CORRUPT.

THIS HAS TRICKLED DOWN TO EVEN THE MESSENGER IN GHANA'S PUBLIC SERVICE.

A CASE OF LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE.

THAT'S WHY TOGO AND EVEN NIGERIA PORTS WILL CONTINUE TO OUT-COMPETE GHANA WHEN IT COMES TO IMPORT DUTIES GENERATED.

GHANAIANS WILL CONTINUE TO EVADE THE EXPLOITATIVE IMPORT DUTIES AT OUR PORTS UNTIL GOVERNMENT LEARNS COMMON SENSE.

GHANA IS REELING UNDER LAZINESS AND CORRUPTION BECAUSE OUR LEADERS SIMPLY DO NOT WANT TO THINK.

IF A RELATIVELY POOR COUNTRY LIKE TOGO
HAS A FREE PORT, WHY NOT GHANA BLESSED WITH A LOT OF NATURAL RESOURCES.

MEANWHILE OUR LEADERS CONTINUE TO THINK THAT EXPLOITATIVE IMPORT TARIFFS AND DUTIES ARE THE MAIN MEANS OF GENERATING GOVERNMENT REVENUE IN THE MIDST OF PLENTY OF NATURAL RESOURCES.

KWASIAFUOR LEADERS!

Are you listening to yourself? When people goes to work and they don't get paid for months you really think they will make an effort to work hard? Work hard for who? No pay raises for years and you expect them to work hard? You are speaking out of your ass. Pay attention to your OSU township and clean all the gutters and your so called OXFORD street, the trashy roadside etc. Dziwo fie asem, the OSU market trash and public toilets etc. Another NDC fool

Well said. Waakye at 9am banku and fish at 12-2pm. 3pm ready to leave. Thursday half day. Fridays no show. Funerals to support colleagues. Roads and highway workers are equally contractors. Very little knowledge about rads. Contractors paid before inspections and they compromise. Nurses are traders in medicines and beverages. Doctors use hospital grounds for private operations. Teachers are traders in the markets and sellers of government books in schools and arkets. Lectures do little or no research as the students gather materials for their use. Same notes since inception of universities in Ghana. Electricity and water are most laziest. Very little supervision or noe. GRA is hopelessly ineffective. They are prepared to negotiate with companies to compromised on the actual amount. Lebanese and Indians are their friends.. The list goes on and on etc. mahama please use a sieve.

Yes this is how we want to see our chiefs talk about issues of national importance otherwise they are irrelevant to a modern country.
They should desist from corruption and double/triple sale of lands even some foolish chiefs sell cemetery lands with bodies buried on them without requesting families for re-burial like Nana Baah of Lower Saltpond (NANKESDO), if our culture is firmly entrenched in the belief of after life, then a chief who behaved this way has no right to occupy any stool and must be got rid off.

Someone said don't ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country... black man greedy lazy that's what is wrong with our people in Ghana, individual corruption is killing ghana people who are not working but are leaving large and if they do work they feel they have to take bribe so they can build that 4th house why? And we keep blaming government for everything.. government alone can't solve this problems... we should start teaching our young and old corruption is bad for our country.
