  • Kanawu 10 years ago

    President. Mahama is right so is Mr Terkper so a balance should be found between scrapping it and sustaining it and that calls for rwducing the government workforce.

  • MUGU YARO 10 years ago

    When NPP came up with the SSSS policy, it was not meant to drammatically increase workers salaries threefold as NDC implemented this policy.

    What is Justice Sarpong's worry if Mahama is committing blunders? It certainly should please him, because it brightens the chances of his darling party NPP! This world is full of paradoxes.

  • Jay Pee 10 years ago

    Sarpong prefers NPP, but his greater, underlying concern is for Ghana. Obviously, he only just happens to believe that NPP is best for Ghana.
