    Meaning he is a thief like Randy Abbey who is using an academic title that he has not toiled for.

  • Oprege 10 months ago

    Sad that he’s accusing all hardworking Ghanaians as thieves whereas it’s leaders like him who are the problem — he should be voted out

  • Kwame nkrumah 10 months ago

    Ghanaians are not thieves. It is the culture. We tolerate a culture of profligacy. Weddings, birthday parties funerals, hampers, doing the things the rich don't do

  • Mr. Smith 10 months ago

    Kwame, you have said it all !!! There's this culture of showing off things that are of no priority. iPhones, laptops, android TVs, watches, handbags, expensive shoes and to some extent cars. Especially at church and other eve ...

    A very motivating speech from a union leader who appreciates the hardworking membership — a narcissistic person leader wanting all the attention to himself

  • Yvonne nelson 10 months ago

    .. yes because our system is not balance and salary's are very low

  • Nii Adjei 10 months ago

    The buck stops with leadership. Akufo-Addo and Bawuliar are our leaders so what do you expect? The kid brother lies through his teeth and Jack Toronto defends the thieves by clearing them of any wrongdoings.

  • Man 10 months ago

    It's because their salary is peanut

  • Gborlahn 10 months ago

    I agree but most Ghanaian employers are wicked and pay their employees unrealistic wages that send them down and down into poverty. How can a security company take over 1,000 GHc for one officer and pay him 80 GHc? Why won't ...
