@Capt Adabuga,I can only support you if this is not true; a rule, a system or a process once laid down as the way an institution must go has to be respected and adhered to the letter ; clearly the Herald whether NDC or not has given information that can be verified, even dates of birth have been given, the guys are 60, is this too a lie. No wonder Ghana is where it is today, the result is that our young ones both skilled and unskilled fight to leave our shores to the white man's country where systems work and life becomes more enjoyable.

Why are lecturers retiring at 70 after years of service and extensions while experienced and knowledgeable mw like these are sent home at 60? Unlike civil servants who connivw with birth and deaths and SSNIT to reduce their age the military discipline will not allow such nefarious activities. Just look at public sectors workers demonstrating, and you can easily see some are above 70. Leave the military alone. And leave the president to serve his last two months taking his decisions according to his mandate.

Maths, you're right there. Age reduction is sadly a Ghanaian thing. Civil servants, security personnel, academics all do that stuff to stay longer in service.

There are different set of laws governing these institutions and you shouldn't be comparing apples and oranges. The lecturers are two extensions of five years each after retirement, and that's in their statute books.

I hate to talk about this on tribal level, but I must. The three names are most likely Ashantis and likely NPP. This isn't difficult to assume if we are to extrapolate from the argument that the Ghana-loving galamsey protesters were all NDC sympathizers because they have Ewe-sounding names.

Back to my point: it is no coincidence that these top military officials are being kept in office despite passing their retirement age. They are bought and paid for. Perhaps they have something to do with why Akuffo Addo is still office, having ran the country to the ground.

I don't care for the NDC either as both parties are responsible for the sorry state of Ghana. We need a reset via military takeover.

I don't say these things lightly. I remember the military regimes of the 70s, so don't get me wrong.

I have posted on these pages many times that Rawlings killed a relative of mine in his revolution. My relative was part of the erstwhile supreme military council. Let me leave it at that. For years, I harbored deep hatred for Rawlings. That is no more because 1) he is dead. 2) The corruption that marked Rawlings' time in office is ordinary compared to what I see of the NDC and NPP.

My thinking is simple: Our political choices are now binary, between the NDC and NPP. These parties take turns robbing the country. Mahama's last tenure was deemed the most corrupt. The reason why many want him back is because the NPP has outdone the NDC in the area of corruption. What does it say about a whole country when people yearn for the comeback of a party not because it advanced the interest of the country but because, in hindsight, its corruption is "better" than another party's?

I don't care for the NDC and NPP. One rapes the country, and the other takes over, that also rapes the country to make way for the other party. These crooks don't use our healthcare system. We subsidize them to seek help elsewhere. What incentives do they have to make our healthcare system better for all when we pay for them to be treated in the West? They open offshore accounts to siphon off monies coming to the country. Do I need to go on?

So, what if I'm advocating for military takeover? At least when these NPP and NDC crooks are in power, they'll know to do the right things because there's another catastrophic option if they misbehave.

Possible, you took issues with me saying these military generals are Ashanti but failed to see what I was actually saying. Please go back and read my comment. Some people claimed that those Ghana-loving people who demonstrated against galamsey are from the Volta Region and are NDC members because they have Ewe-sounding names. You see the foolishness of thinking that way? I guess not, hence why you failed to see what I was saying.

Now, what makes you think I'm not an Ashanti? It's laughable.

I was touched by your first sentence and tried to follow your argument. Unfortunately your tribal mask has exposed how narrow you are when it comes to Ashanti names. These are rather the names that has suffered severe identity abuse. Ashantis hardly take any other tribe names but virtually all other regions and tribes in Ghana take aftrr Ashanti names. You can start from Accra, through Volta up to all the regions in the North.
So kindly hasten slowly when trying to link Ashanti names to Asantefoɔ.

@They should retire at 65: for your information, lecturers don't retire at 70 years. Don't spew garbage and untruths.

1. Lecturers who retire at the mandatory 60 years at the rank of LECTURER are not given any contract appointment.

2. Those who retire at tye rank of SENIOR LECTURER may be offered a contract appointment up to the age of 65 years provided the academic department still needs tye services of such lecturers, and also under certain conditions.

3. Lecturers who retire at the PROFESSORIAL (Associate and Full Professors) rank ma be given up to 10 years contract appointment if the academic unit needs the services of such lecturers, and also under certain conditions.

So the lecturer are given contract appointment based on the needs of the academic unit, and the application is made by the unit, not the lecturer. This arrangements have been put in place as a result of the lack of interest shown by the young ones to join the Academia, coupled with the fact that the student numbers are increasing by the year. Also many qualified people don't want to jo8n Academia because they think they will struggle to secure funds for research, let alone getting their research findings published. Many people are also discouraged by the relatively low salary compared with what they will get in the industry, not in the public sector (which is even worse) but rather in thre private sector. There are many other reasons that do not attract people into Academia, hence the post retirement contract appointment offered to certain retired academics yo salvage the situation.

So do not say what you don't know to deceive the public.

The NDC seeks to incite disaffection in the lower ranks of the armed forces against the senior ranks. This was how the father of the NDC the (P)NDC came to power through the deceased half-caste bastard son of an Ayigbe whore, and murdered senior army officers and thousands of civilians who were targeted on tribal grounds. Dhes party steeped in the blood of innocent Ghanaians knows that it will lose the voming elections so they would welcome the intervention of the military to overturn the constitutional order. What best way to do this than by making the lower ranks of the army to believe that selfish senior army officers are standing in the way of their advancement. The Herald, this NDC tabloid should keep off the armed forces.

This development does not surprise me in the least under Akuo-Addo's NPP. The regime is very selective in who their choice for appointment, promotion, career development courses, transfers etc in the public sector institutions including the key security services. I remember Lt Gen Akwa was appointed Chief of Army Staff (COAS) by Former President Mahama knowing very well his political leanings (NPP). Over the dead body of Akufo-Addo to do that. I state emphatically, if NPP even gets 40% in the next Presidential elections, then we Ghanaians deserve whatever shabby treatment and contempt we get from politicians.

off and piss off. The fact that some one reaches this artificial creation of retirement it does not mean they have lost their skills and ability to perform. Only a shit useless paper affiliated to a shitty party will stoke this kind of nonsense. They will remain in office until the Commander-in-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces His Excellency DR, Dr Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo decides otherwise. If you cannot hack it take DDT and rat poison, go to Adome bridge and jump head first into the Volta river. Waht a sad bunch of fools at the Herald.

Stakes are high at this crucial time of elections so we will need tested officers who will deliver peace we need. Changing hands at this critical time will not serve the country right. Its not too disrespect those who will take over but transition time for election can be frustrating for them. Why are we politicizing our military?

60 years retiring age should be extended to 70 because you get out of service at the time that all that you need to work better had been acquired then you're asked to go home. Ghana discuss this, parliament, take it up.

There is serious favouritism going on in the Armed Forces, I was called for an interview 6 months to my 57th birthday and was retired at exactly 57 years as a Colonel without any extension, meanwhile there were other Colonels who are older than me and they were still serving. I was later told by one senior officer that they were finding it difficult to know where I belong ie NDC or NPP. I had already done my estimates(appreciation) towards my retirement and fully prepared so it didn't bother me a bit. Now people who committed serious offences in the Army when the were younger are promoted Brig Gen and above just because they are card bearing members of the NPP. While the Navy and the Airforce are managing their personnel, the Army is using partisan politics to victimise those they perceived to be their enemies.

The useless military in Ghana must be ashamed of itself. It caters to the interests of Political parties rather than the interest and welfare of Ghanaians.
