Who told this talkative that government has increased the salaries of its staff by 67%? Has he not heard that it is FAKE news? Rumour mongers. The military retooling is spread over 4 years and that Polytank thief Abu Jinapor was disgraced in parliament for claiming that 1.2 billion dollars. If you are a new teacher yet to start teaching, is this the way you are going to pollute the children. No research No verification? Massa go softly. 2023 badge indeed. You might have suffered tot tot allawa indeed.

During Mahama's first administration there was a handful evil NPP fanatics, who paraded themselves as Association of Unemployed Graduates and made so much ugly political noises. They quickly disappeared from the scene as soon Akufo Addo and Bawumia and the NPP came into office. Now, another bunch of devils have started again bcuz Mahama and the NDC are in office again.

It's unfortunate that the government is the biggest employer which does not make any sense. Just like any profession why can't teachers find their own jobs? Have you seen graduates of accounting, engineering, or marketing take to the streets?
Nurses and teachers should look for their own jobs like everybody else. That's how it's done in Europe and the America's and we tend to copy them.
When are we going to have a government who would be bold to turn all teacher training colleges to other forms of discipline.

NDC is sitting around and letting NPP lie about a $1.2 billion aircraft. These habitual NPP liars are telling gullible Ghanaians that Ghana has $1.2 billion to buy an aircraft.

The nonsense of the NPP has started again! You failed to recruit several batches of trained teachers during your tenure, but there was never a coalition of unemployed teachers. Indeed, this one-party opposition NPP is a blessing to Ghana only when they are out of power. May they remain in perpetual opposition till thy kingdom cometh!

NDC government is really really too soft for these good for nothing association parading itself as coalition for unemployed teachers.
Where were they when the previous government was in power.

The government need to be hard and take action on them.

It is a seed they are sowing and it will germinate to be something else.

Since the beginning of the fourth republic which government has ever declared a budget allocation to the Ministry of Defense for scrutiny.

Do they know the quantum of money allocated to the Defense Ministry of some countries whose GDP is far far too low than Ghana.

Do they think the peace we are enjoying in Ghana as a nation is on a silver platter.

It takes a lot from the defense Ministry and other security apparatus to get to where we are now.

The government should crash this association on time, because they are enjoying freedom in peace, they are talking rubbish.

It's a bad situation for us all, not just the teachers. The only way NDC government can make economic gains is cut down employment and use that money as artificial 'life-support' for the cedis. Government continues to pump millions of money to keep a good exchange rate rather than implementing economic policies that will naturally strengthen the cedis. Since Ghanaians prefer exchange rate politics the government will do anything, include cutting down employment so they can use the money to stabilize the cedi. We will see the actual value when they no longer have money to bailout the cedis. The same thing happen in JM first term, where he couldn't post trained teachers and nurses, and had to freeze employment in public sector until he was voted out. The first time voters didn't experience this, and wanted their own experience and now they have it too.

Sometimes I feel that Ghanaians are very petty: we had a government in office for eight years and we all felt comfortable with 17,000 unemployed teachers. Just ten months into its administration, we feel that this new government should be able to swing the magic wand and employ all of the teachers within the blink of an eye.
Now if it were possible we could have done so within the eight years of the previous administration. Let's be sensitive about our own plight and not only be partisan and selfish.
This government at least is making everything possible to get these teachers employed in batches. These teachers should be grateful and leave government to do it's job. The employee has no moral right to determine for the employer how recruitment should be done. This is clearly not acceptable, you only plead for things to be done and set not conditions for your employer.
If they have that power to employ, why didn't they do so over the last eight years? Why don't they employ themselves now? Let's grow an attitude of gratitude for once as a people and stop being petty.
Are these people saying that the security of this nation is irrelevant and must not be a priority to government? If this is how they're thinking then they shouldn't be asking for 17000 of them to be employed because there are the nurses and other professionals also wanting to be employed.
Anyways, is the price of the aircrafts what they are quoting?
