Best brains in the country can be found in the public sector. You dont understand jack. So disrespectful as if if one leaves the public sector there is no other job to do.

The excess labour in the public sector should rather go into the manufacturing sector to help reduce imports

Your point is far better than the IMANI boss' idea. But what can make clear here is we are in certain stage of human civilisation where people who trade brains rather than muscles could survive the next century. So what Mr Cudgoe should understand in the first place is that they not productive because they have not been trained to be one. So putting them in farming wont make any difference until they are trained properly to be productive.

Sent by IMF and its Western-controlled overlords? This guy is not only a fool but one of the dangerous traitors funded by desperate Empire of Chaos. He,rather,should be retrenched by closing down IMANI - a typical Empire of Chaos' tool of destabilisation and regime change - as Putin did to USAID and western-funded NGOs in Russia.

Franklin, we think you are perfectly right. All the argument the contributors are doing is not real. Stupid people can just say you dont know anything about governance, the sector is not productive and stuff like best brain are in the private sector.They don't have foresight. They cannot understand your reasoning. Agric is the best way and the best brain has to help for it to become productive.

Some people think that agric. means dirty work.We want to assure the whole public that soon this sector would be taken over by the best brain.

For a policy think tank,IMANI is yet to author/propose one notable policy initiative. They just talk and lobby like any other pressure group. Maybe it's time the donors cut funding to think-less tanks like IMANI and sent these talkative compradors into more productive activities like farming.

This is senseless. Is IMANIsaying that the government should force people into agriculture or what. You can retrench workers but you cannot dictate to them what they should do.

What a myopic argument! Just 600 000 public sector workers and you're complaining? Ghana has a population of almost 27 million and just 600 000 and you think is too much and for that matter people should be retrenched and sent to do agriculture. Mr know-all, what will then be the percentage of Ghanaians in agriculture if your suggestion is taken? The current percentage of tse in agriculture is above 60. Do you know the percentage of Americans in agriculture? That is less than 5 % and yet they can feed themselves and give us sorghum and wheat for free. I thought you would have charged the government to do more in the sector. Last year agriculture grew by 0 % (0.04%). Mr know-all, do care to find out why? Because the government had shaken her responsibilities in the creation of enabling environment for all stakeholders to work to grow the sector. Ghanaian governments over the years (Rawlings to JM) have not been serious with the sector. Even Gen. IK Acheampong did better in the sector than all these modern day presidents. Mr. Cudjo come again!

Pele,

We do not understand the premise of IMANI's Cudjoe. As you show with just two examples, there are no reasonable metrics Cudjoe could cite to prove his point about retrenchment.

Looks like he neglected to tell the reporter, and the reporter neglected to ask, how many public servants would be ideal for Ghana given the size of the population; geography; political organization; taxes paid by Mr. Mahama and other high level official; assets declared by politicians; number of political appointees in charge of the civil servants and their competencies, etc.

Then there is the nation-building aspects.

Peace!
