The dead should be buried immediately. Those who can afford should keep their deceased ones in private mortuaries. It is not the work of the police to keep dead bodies. Their work is to maintain law and order.

The nurses issue has been persistent during the NPP administration and I understand why workers want improved working conditions however, why are they striking against a six month old government which is just settling down? Why didn’t they strike pre the current government? It smells like politics given the union’s leader is married to an NPP executive. The NPP hates our country and we should be aware of that.

@Omama….The nurses’ grievances were already know during the NPP administration, so why didn’t they strike, and why are they striking against a government which has barely settled down?

Mahama, u and your minister are complicating matters ! And I can guarantee that if u the minister or Mahama is sick, u will go to Nyaho clinic or any of these expensive health facilities or possibly fly abroad . So your posture is clearly not in the interest of the ordinary Ghanaian who can't afford the services of private health services.

Thanks to npp for the blood of these fellow Ghanaians will be on their party forever. If they knew they aren't going to implement this negotiated pay why put another government through these.? Just like the single spine pay structure negotiated by Kuffour but wasn't implemented thus forcing Atta Mills to swallow that pill. They go behind and agitated for its fullest implementation. Why a party should be so evil and self seeking like this. Now Ghanaians are wise and will credit the npp for all these unnecessary deaths.
