Public servants are simply overcompensated in Ghana. It does not pay to be an entrepreneur in Ghana. Your taxes go to be many of these public servants who think the country owes them a good life.

If this man had retired and a new person took over, wouldn't he be paid the same emoluments? The man did no wrong. He hasn't taken anything that is undeserved. Procedure was breached by those who are supposed to either extended the contract or replaced him. Your frustrations and outbursts are misplaced. Perhaps you are only pained by the monies that is being paid to him but that is the purpose of education. He is qualified, competent and not a thief. Now listen! Why is Sam George, who is championing this news for political gains not asking his colleagues in parliament who according to the Auditor General's report have withdrawn double salaries for more than two years to pay back and vacate their seats as parliamentarians? Why is Sam George and Ablakwa not advocating for cessation of payment of ex-gratia to parliamentarians and other political office holders every 4 years? Why are they not asking their colleagues who used the GETFUND to further their educations to pay back and leave parliament? Open your eyes and see through the pick-and Choose politics which Ablakwa and Sam George are engaged in. Yes, the GRA boss issue must be looked into but sounding like he has done something practically disadvantageous to the state in just hypocritical on the part of the spin doctors. Hope you can read TO understand!

Is this man performing in his capacity as the GRA Boss or not? Is it about the emoluments that he is receiving? Is it about someone was retired so he should also be retired? Why are we not questioning the Public Services Commission about why this man is still not contracted after his retirement age? Let us start talking about issues and not about the personality involved. If I may ask, why are those championing this GRA Boss issue not talking about the undeserved ex-gratia that they receive every 4 years even though parliamentarians, ministers of state and other political office holders are taking EVERY 4 YEARS, whilst the country remains underdeveloped? Again, why are the Sam George's and the Ablakwa's not talking about why some parliamentarians and Ministers of State are not being compelled to refund to the state, the double salaries that they have withdrawn as contained in the Auditor General's report? Why are the Ablakwa's and the Sam George's not talking about the GETFUND that some politicians and their families exploited for themselves and family members further education....not even Asiedu Nketia was questioned on this issue. Parliament is supposed to cut both left and right regardless of being in opposition or the government in power but what i have oibserved is that Ablakwa, Sam George, and their appendages only open their mouth wide against their perceived opponents to score political point. That subjectivity must stop. The Ex-gratia payment every 4 years must stop. Those politicians in parliament who were exposed by the Auditor General to have withdrawn double salaries must be made to pay back with interest and also vacate their seats in parliament. Very shameful indeed for these individuals to be titled honorables! Shame on Ghana!

Is it about the case of someone was retired so he should also be retired? Why are we not questioning the Public Services Commission about why this man is still not contracted after his retirement age or made to exit on his retirement age? Let us start talking about issues and not about the personality involved. Have you questioned why those championing this GRA Boss's issue not talking about the undeserved ex-gratia that parliamentarians receive every 4 years even though parliamentarians, ministers of state and other political office holders are not preforming their duties, whilst the country remains underdeveloped?

Madam, you are ignorant of facts. Madam, you are bringing your ignorant to public. The law stipulates that at a certain age of work, there is retirement. The person you are defending even knows that what he is doing is wrong per the laws of the nation. Nobody cares about the emoluments he is enjoying. He is not the only qualified person in Ghana. Before him, there was someone. That has to tell you, madam, that he is not the only person qualify for that position, madam. The law that governs every society must be applied equally, madam.

Your quality of English and construction alone tells me you do not worth my attention. Did he appoint himself? Does he have to pack and leave the job just because whoever appointed him is not sending a reliever? What are you talking about? Your level of illiteracy is beyond par! I have attained my retirement age so I just leave the job without my employer sending someone to takeover from me? You guys are only irked by the emoluments and not the responsibility that he bears.
