A former Chief of Staff, Kojo Mpiani has lashed out at government for failing to contain the wave of labour agitations in the country.

His comments come a day after some unemployed nurses and midwives picketed at the Flagstaff House over their delayed postings.

Graduates of some School of Hygiene also besieged the Local Government Ministries following numerous petitions over their postings.

Speaking on Starr Today, Monday, Mr. Mpiani said Mahama's ministers are simply not working.

“It is not the normal way to handle things…everyone going to the presidency then the ministries become redundant…either the ministers are not working well or don’t have sufficient power to handle things.

“You only go to the presidency as a last resort but as I sit back I don’t know what is happening…there is a problem somewhere, and the President should find out what the problem is…effectively the ministries are not working well.
