Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Reverend Professor Emmanuel Martey, has said government must be blamed for the protracted strike by the Ghana Medical Association (GMA).

According to him, the current political leadership creates the feeling that the nation has no money to pay workers whilst politicians receive hefty salaries.

Speaking to XYZ News in an interview, he said it is high time politicians realised that they can no longer take Ghanaians for a ride.

“Whether all of us are equal before the law or not we don’t know. We must be sincere the striking doctors know what is happening when it comes to remunerations of political leaders.

“No politician can fool Ghanaians any longer…Workers in this country are abreast of issues and make critical decisions,” he said.

Professor Martey, however, appealed to the doctors to call off the strike and resume work.
