The burden can never be heavy. 24hr economy is in force, companies are running 3 shifts and the youth are gainfully employed and happy. You see your life now Mr. Minister?! When you scam your way to power, inability to create jobs would expose you big time. After terminating workers appointments you’re now pleading with the private sector. Incompetent government!

Government must implement laws to protect the employers in cases where employees steal from their masters.

There already many jobs in the private sector for the youth. The lazy youth wants government jobs where they do nothing and get big pay, especially among nurses.
The wages in the public sector in Ghana is too high, and private sector cannot compete for good workers

This minister is probably the most incompetent labour minister Ghana has ever had. He's not in charge at all. Watched his recent interview with Kemini of TV3 and it was appalling. He should sit up. Labour unions should fight hard this year for their pound of flesh.

The entrepreneurs who should be creating jobs are going into the public sector to create loot and share. We need those creative minds in the private sector and immense support from government.

Reduce the utility rates and taxes for SMEs so they can have some space and capacity to employ more. Also sensitize and advice Ghanaian workers to be truthful and hard working.

The jobs are available but the youth do not like them. Everyone wants a government job. The taxes are too high. A small factory faces heavy taxes being imposed on entrepreneurs to pay corrupt officials. For example I import materials to manufacture goods on Ghana. I pay heft taxes, fees and charges at the port roughly 20 % . Then these organization's are always on my head GRA, 15 PETCENT OF GROSS VALUE OF SALES. THEN, OVER 20% ON MY PROFIT IF ANY. IN ADDTION THESE INSTITUTIONS CHASE ME LIKE I HAVE TAKEN GOVERMENT LOAN..FDA, MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY?, FIRE SERVICE ETC.
LAST YEAR I IMPORTED MATERIALS AND WAS RHINKING OF HIRING MORE WORKERS BUT I COUKD NOT DO THAT BECAUSE OF THE HIGH TAXES.
WORKERS STEALL ALOT AND ARE ALWAYS ON MY COMPUTER SENDING APPIICATIONS FOR JOBS ON MY TIME. GOVERMENT SHOULD EMBARK ON JOURNEY TO EDICATE GHANAIANS..PERHARPS ONLY 10 _20 PETCENT OF THE WORKING FORCE ARS ENGAGED IN GOVERMENT JOBS. MAJORITY OF THE WORKFORCE IN THE WESTERN WORLD ARE EMPLOYED BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY. MANY OF US DO NOT GET IT.

Dr Pelpuo labour will find its own level per the forces of demand and supply, you can not just by word of mouth ask the private sector to hire more workers, it does not work that way and never has been so.Basic economics.

Rantings of a sluggish creepy slot. Someone said and I quote, "When the debate is lost, the loser resort to insults", unquote. John Mahama is the stupidest man ever and he can be president only Ghana because there are too many idiots who are maturing into normal humans.

What is 24-hour economy? During the first republic, some sections of the economy was operating 24 hours, and it was not a policy put in place by the president rather it was the factors of "Demand and Supply".

Why is Mahama telling the private sector to hire more workers, and how do you understand by that message? Do you why people go into business?

This is a good call and the truth but government also has to cushion existing companies with tax cut as the challenges include high cost of operation making them uncompetitive in cost.
Over 21 taxes at the port plus high utilities charges.
You can't expand to take extra labour force easily.
The companies have scaled down due to financial challenges even though they may have the capacity.

Was it this guy who told unemployed graduate to cut grass, break stones and sell them to make money? Rashid Puelpuo or whatever his name is, should understand that the private sector businesses are profit oriented and they hire when they think it is the right time to do so.

No government can force them to hire people to justify some stupid policy that doesn't make any sense. Some of these northerners should stop drinking cow milk because they are not thinking right as normal humans.

What is the meaning of the "Private sector should hire more workers"? What stops you from establishing some factories to push this stupid 24-hour nonsense to wherever you want it. Mmoa.

Oooh Oooh Oooh. Professor !!!. Private sector only trives when consumers have the disposable income. Food, utilities, health and education expenses are the top areas where salaries go.

Simple solution: instead of subsidizing loss-making SOEs, provide tax reliefs and other incentives to private enterprises. Then they will hire more employees and produce more.

Only importing companies will be able to hire workers. Exporting companies are laying off staff as quickly as possible due to the artificial exchange rate!
