Worker corruption n theft contributes to the high cost of living. No salary increase is necessary until that is done.

KOFI, THAT IS IT. IF GOVT DOES NOT PAY REALISTIC SALARIES, HOW CAN WORKERS AFFORD TO PAY REALISTIC TARRIFS. THESE NDC PEOPLE BEHAVE AS IF THEY ARE NOT HUMANS. HOW CAN YOU PAY A WORKER 400 CEDIS, AND TAKE ABOUT 250 CEDIS OUT OF IT AS TARRIFS. IF WE ARE NOT TALKING, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE ARE FOOLS.

President. John Mahama genuinely doesn't know how to fix the dumsor crisis. It is a gigantic inability underpinned by incompetence, thievery, mismanagement and cluelessness. It is not about increasing utility tariffs. President. John Mahama has thus failed with the incoherence of their policy interventions to address the dumsor, dumsor which was promised to be a thing of the past.
The disastrous failure on the management front coupled with the rippling thievery has served to collapse the economy of this country and the Mahama-led NDC gov't must resign honourably.

They increased cost of utility by 100% in January, assuring us of an improved service. After showing us nothing by way of improvement, these idiots want to increase utility cost again because they think Ghanaians will continue to remain fools. This time, we should put aside our partisan interest and think about our welfare as citizens first!

Playing foolish political games had kept Ghana poor. How can you say the govt should pay salaries that would make a few govt workers comfortable before realistic tariffs are accepted by the people. If govt increase salaries of workers and they can afford what of the self employed. Remember salary increases itself doesn't make people comfortable because the revenue and productivity must much the increases.

What do you want him to say Mr Bonsu? How can the people pay the bills with the meagre salaries that are being doled out to them? This has nothing to do with politics.He is facing facts. All the supporters of NDC only know only one thing and that is insult anybody who doesn't agree with them. Ghana belongs to all Ghanaians.We all have the right to express our opinion on every issue that affects our wellbeing.

Government does not produce money, it raises money through taxes, if you want more money pay higher taxes, I actually believe these agencies are inefficient, government should privatise part of the work to reduce costs.

The government should pay workers 100% salaries, before we can pay realistic utilities. If not, Mahama should stop pronouncing to workers of realistic payment of tariffs. We are not going to pay any tariff. Useless leader.

Guess what Kofi Kapito, wages come with a whole range of financial and economic assessment and evaluation one of which is commonly called productivity. If Ghana's workers were as productive as other nations, the number of government work force could be slashed to half its size. If there was civil servant worker attitude changes that resulted in efficiency, service to the public and are courteous to clients/customers there could be a positive feedback from customers and citizens alike.

What is realistic wages anyway Mr. Kofi Kapito? Is it one that enables workers to buy cars, eat all they can eat and have fun on weekends? Have you noticed how private employers can fire employees for cause or layoff employees when there is business downturn? Have you ever seen government layoff of civil servants for low productivity and abuse of the system? Would you ask for an electronic time clock system where all civil servants are obligated to clock in at the start of the work day, clock out for lunch and back in after lunch and at the end of a work day? This attitude of entitlement with low productivity can only come from workers who do not know a thing about realities. Paying taxes is nothing new in any country, developed and under developed alike, Mr. Kapito.

Because he doesn't pay for anything he thinks everyone is okay like him. He is sick. When he pays workers good they will also have enough money to pay for the utility bills. He and his Government are thieves. He should give us a break with his lairs. He is a deceiver and crooks. Easy to steal but difficult to pay workers.

I am soory,I did not see this article early enough to have time to comment. There's nothing like Realistic Salary that would Statisfy Workers in the Country because of these 2 elements in Manufa Accts.
(1).Overheads and Direct Expenses in COSTING.Which means the increase in salaries and wages goes on the product and therefore passed on to the Consumer. At what percentage so far can the gov't increase Salary.Unless the Utilities Companies are exempted from the increase in Salaries &Wages, which is unheard of,there's nothing like "Realistic Salaries & Realistic-Payment " in our part of the World. (2) The Excessive Greed of the Ghanaian Trader/Supplier/Retailer (cut-throat) attitude(that's the reason why several decades ago, gov't had to control prices).The antidote to neutralize that attitude is abundance of GOODS,Food, Services, -COMPETITIVE MARKET,etc. Authorities should not talk as if they do not know what's going on in the Country(excuse my word).Ghana is a place an increase in Salaries automatically increase Prices across the Country in less than 1 hour.A rumour of looming increase in the pump/fuel price, creates hoading and automatically increase prices on every commodity,etc, nationwide after the announcement (and the gov't is in petrol economy-heavy increase in fuel prices here and there).In a Country where everyone want to play Smart/er than the other,it's difficult for majority of the people;b'cos we all buy from the Same market place (Store, designer/tailor etc,rich or poor.
So,eventually the aim to increase the purchasing power of the Worker is defeated by the Market forces, becomes a 9 day wonder,or, to no avail.
to be continued .
