  Of course, salaries and emoluments of appointees like CEOs, Ministers, MPs, BoDs and their corrupt acts are what is crippling the nation from growing revenues generated by the average workers with poor working conditions. Politicians are the ones misusing our revenues, just say it out loud and stop the rhetorics.

  Well, the government should put it's feet down if not they will facing a lot of problems. For example during the nursing Association negotiations, they were asking for so many ridiculous allowances like funeral allowance, car import allowance, remote village allowance etc.. If doctors, pharmacists, architects, undertakers, UTAG, student nurses, Chiefs, police, CLOGSAG, TEWU etc.. are all demanding such bonuses, Ghana will become bankrupt in one day.

  Nana Addo's time, it was around the same percentage, even though his size of government was double what scam man John Airbus Mahama has and still the figures are the same? then there is something wrong somewhere. Other factors may be part, but the percentage should reduce. Airbus Mahama is deceiving Ghanaians.

  Why should somebody who is paid 90,000 to 200,000ghs a month go on pension with that money till death whilst somebody with 2,500ghs goes to SSNIT with 400ghs pension a month. All these people are govt workers. Not to talk about SOEs, Cocobod, ,BOG, Parliamentarians, Judges, Military top brass, etc, etc. They are the people milking the nation not a fresh graduate, nurse, etc or CEO in a public service on a single spine structure. They don't contribute a dime to SSNIT yet the retire on their salary. Why this disparity? If you put all traditional leaders on the payroll what do you expect. Akuffo Addo did that.
  
  For a solution, from the presidency, judiciary, BOG, parliamentarians, etc to cleaner all should be put on the singles spine scale no more cap 30 and article 71. We will see how the pay structure will breath no choking. Mr Controller and President Mahama over to you....

  The salaries of the average Ghanaians should not suffocate Ghana’s economic stability as alluded to by the accountant general. The accountant general must rather address the insane salaries and fringe benefits of the MP’s and the CEO’s and other government appointees. Even in the advanced countries, some appointees do not get half of the fringe benefits given to those in Ghana . Why all these useless fringe benefits.?

  There should be a strategic decision by the government to shrink the public sector and to transfer some roles in health and education to private players. Also, the non-custody sentencing for criminal offences, crime prevention measures and adoption of technology should be done to right size the Prisons Service, the Ghana Police Service and the Ghana Atmes Forces, whose pension burden on the public purse is growing. These are baby steps the government should consider and take.

  why can't modesty define our way of life in government settings.. just have a look at the renumeration of these CEOs, directors, managers of state enterprises and you'll wonder if Ghana is a paradise... we hear of salaries and allowances of fellow Ghanaians in government offices and we wonder what they're going to do with all that money.
