Angry workers chanting anti- government slogans disrupted a rally in Ghana on Monday Workers frustrated at lack of progress in pay negotiations in Ghana, which has been swallowing World Bank and International Monetary Fund medicine for over a decade, shouted down Vice- President Kow Nkensen Arkaah in the capital Accra.

"We in government recognise that we will be judged by what we offer to Ghanaians in terms of the things Ghanaians deem to be good," said Arkaah, whose speech was interrupted for 20 minutes while police calmed down the crowd in the main square. There were no arrests or scuffles.
