These ungrateful charlatans get free education and they are now throwing tantrums because they did not get more free stuffs? Do we have to give them free cola nuts and cowries too before they diagnose diseases?

I'm sorry... not every doctor receives free education. Have you heard of the graduate entry medical programme? Obviously not!

My friends who are medical students pay 6000dollars per year for medical school not counting books and accommodation.

If someone works should they not get what is their due? What is your argument? Contracts are meant to be broken are they not....let government institutions continue fattening themselves at the expense of their employees.

Tell us what you know. I find it absurd for anyone claiming fuel allowance. We all drive or find trotro to work and so we should all be asking for fuel money.

Lazy MPs and Ministers do get this and so my question is why not the doctors? And shall we extend this to ALL civil servants in the nations who drive their own vehicles to work?

Their grievance as far as I know is not with government it's with Korle Bu who we have all seems to be mismanaged over the past years

if they are not comfortable with this better current condition of service, then they must tender their resignation. after one doctor's salary can pay 2-3 doctors from Qatar and Dubai.

When someone states in your contract that they will give you X,Y, and Z should they not give you what is your due?

Whether you agree with an allowance or not...it is hardly greed when you are presented with a contract you did not negotiate with benefits that 1 year on have yet to be paid .

Let's give these doctors the support. Would you leave what is due you by contract for an account to chop? Seriously...be honnest with yourself.

And by the way an MP working part time (less than 4months a year) took home 3 times the salary of a junior doctor's salary last year.

I don't know if you have had critically ill relatives...But I have had the chance to see junior doctors attend to my relative 7 days a week for 8 weeks in Korle Bu, day and night even 30hrs work shifts and the maternity block..I have seen with my own eyes...no exaggeration. They are overburdened by the shear number of patients, and yet they worked diligently and saved my sister's life and many other young women who would have left small babies behind were it not for them.

My perspective has changed because what I know of doctors in Ghana is no longer hearsay created by politicians distracting us from their extravagant lifestyle in such times by picking on the easiest people to victimise.

Let doctors have what they are due by law and let's stop demonising them for insisting someone else doesn't pocket what was meant for them.
