    Do you think he deserved that package. Corruption will never die in Ghana.Now you see why teachers, Medical Doctors and nurses go on strike? Do they have a similar package?

  • Akwasidie 7 years ago

    The question you should ask is what is there for the rest of the men and women in the service.He is only thinking about himself.

    What kind of ignorant piece of writing is this?. Service conditions are backed by law. Is what he is taking home after decades of service anything close to what politicians take home just after four years in office.

    It is a shame for a chief fire officer to retire with anything less than this.
    If after several years of work at the highest level of the service, he has nothing to show, why won't people be corrupted.
    Those guys within th ...

    There should be in my opinion a comprehensive end of service benifit for the whole service and not just about the Chief Fire Officer.So what are his deputies taking home

  • Leslie 7 years ago

    And so what ?
    Usually it is those useless , lazy subordinates who were whipped into line by the boss who become angry for nothing.
    They forget that, they can never get any better conditions of service as long as their chi ...

    What was the situation before that makes this one so monstrous?

    We need to know so that we can better appreciate what exactly you want to communicate to us.

  • Photosy 7 years ago

    should it only be politicians who enjoy juicy packages ? this is absolutely ridiculous and the Ghanaian Observer shouldn't publish such nonsense again. This envy must stop, after all he is the Chief Fire officer.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 7 years ago

    You call this envy? So all workers should also get such bonuses? How much does a retiring teacher take home? Now understand them when they go on strike.

    What the Chief Fire Officer is implying by this retirement package is that if it is good for one it must be good for the other!
