Instead of urging the government to release funds quickly for their payment look at what you’re saying.

As in what? Has has this ministry been doing for retired nurses - apart from paying their duly earned retirement benefits - that they want to rely on them at this crucial time. Allow them to rest with no emotional blackmail.

There are so many nurses at home so why don't you employ them and get rid of this non performing politically exposed nurses. We've had enough of this nonsense from this lazy nurses. We give them free allawances at school and yet their attitude has led to the death of many inocent people through negligence. For how long shall we continue to tolorate this nonsense? Call the nurses at home and put them on 1 year contract till the system is stabilised. Its about time we deal with nurses once and for all.

Oh Ghana, is this your solution to the issues at stake? That is senseless solution. Why can't you yield to their micro demands as compared to that of you politicians. Don't you reason to know that Ghana can run effectively and efficiently without parliamentarian!!!. Is Burkina Faso not running but not without health workers. You do you do Mr minister that warrant you that fat salaries and allowances. How much does idiot Sammy earn monthly can't this settle more than 50 nurses demands.

Convince who? The president of the nursing association that has left the country to another country and declared strike at the same time? Because she is married to an NPP executive? It’s GOD that will punish her!

If truly the government is committed to having a solution to this matter, what prevent them from assuring the striking nurses with a timeline for the implementation of their demands. Indeed experience is lacking in this government. Whatever happens, government will have to pay them these allowances one day why allow lives to be lost. Their media propaganda to portray the Leadership of the nurses as evil will not work. Just tell them inview of the on-going IMF program, government cannot pay them these allowances this but the budget after the program can accommodate this expenses....and save lives, lack of knowledge indeed my people punish

Once your party win power . The leadership become rich our night. After 4 years mp take home benefits is more than some one who had worked as a nurse teacher for 40 years. Farmers don't have future, but the one sting at cocobod office at Accra has retirement. But the farm doing the donkey job at the farm has nothing. No retirement, no healthcare nothing. But party supporters will defend this evil done by evil politicians.

Complete nonsense to say that as a minister. Retired nurses and midwives who are walking with sticks and other aids should come and take over the work of energetic nurses and midwives. There's money to pay them cos the cedi has appreciated hence a minister drives in the streets of Accra and fetch dollars from his bag as gift. Again the gov't has money cos those containers packed with dollars, cedis, gold bars etc are all there. Those who are saying the gov't took over not long ago must shut up and stop defending the gov't cos, the gov't came to meet an already agreed condition of service and every gov't takes over assets and liabilities, the gov't can't escape blame for this strike. The condition of service was ready to be implemented and change of gov't came so the gov't has no excuse. The gov't excuse that it wasn't captured in this year's budget is absurd and very deliberate as they seek medical attention abroad so nurses and midwives condition of service can wait not for implementation but renegotiation. Very annoying for that matter. There are shortages of nurses and midwives in all health facilities and latest employed nurses and midwives were asked to stop working, rotten away in frustration. I support the strike as no one will fight for them unless they themselves.

Animal farm indeed, what's good for the goose is also good for the gander.The so called article 71 citizens hurriedly approved fat fat salaries for themselves and hurriedly paid themselves-exgratia,car loans, rent allowances and salary increment of over 80 to 90 percent. For them the budget could support it in hurry but the poor nurses, teachers,police and others the budget cannot support their demands, do they even work before receiving fat fat salaries

What do you expect when you appoint somebody whose only track record is dinning hall prefect as Minister for Health. Anytime he opens his mouth it's garbage.
