  There are many evidences to support President John Kufour's statement. Not only in Singapore , but after the collapse of USSR, Russia also realised this and implemented that decision. Russia's economy has improved bcoz of their massive increase in remunerations. They were able to keep their best brain which led to high productivity and an improvement of their economy. Our MPs & Ministers shd be taking around $5,000/mth, but that shd come with a reduction of their numbers. There shd be no payment of Ex-Gratia plus housing & fuel allowance. Middle level civil servants upwards shd also not take less than $2,000/mth with junior staff not falling beyond $1,000/mth.This will massively reduce corruption, improving productivity and stopping migration of our skilled labour.

  Twea Kai, Kufour is talking crap! Did he do that under his government? No! His corrupt government handed out prime Accra lands to his cronies. You can verify that by goggling, Kwasi Adu''s article with all the evidence which Shameless Kufour was unable to respond to.
  
  "Kufour dares us, we respond by Kwasi Adu.
  
  Russia is the best example of Kakistocracy and Kleptocrracy. There is nothing admirable about Russia and their system of government. Nsem hunu a kwa kwa!

  It was on this same premise you introduce the single spine salary structure. Then, civil servants were excited. Especially the security service. Did it stop the greed? There are a lot of hidden benefits civil servants get which the corporate one dont. These benefits quantified int money is a lot. Civil servants must live upto the name. In the corporate world nothing is free. From health, accommodation, welfare, soft loans etc.

  Ghana's government has 2 underlying issues that must be resolved before improvement/ adjustments can be sought for wages, salaries and compensation of civil and public servants.
  
  Can anyone in Ghana provide justification for the stipends given to nursing students or students in any field of professional studies? While at it the person or persons should provide examples of industrialized or developed nations where such practices are taking place.
  
  Could any of the advocates of Ghana's free SHS scheme provide cogent argument including examples from industrialized and developed nations where free education is not means-tested?
  
  Secondly, I will suggest that if the government of Ghana cannot point to any field of study discipline where 50 percent of the graduates from SHS or tertiary institutions are emplyed by private employers in Ghana, then the government cannot reform its pay and compensation scale upwards without going bankrupt.
  
  In the meantime the government should seriously consider a bi-weekly payroll system to minimize bribery and corruption that afflicts us all. A bi-weekly payday system allows families and working people to manage their dire budget constraints knowing payday is a week or few days away instead of 2-weeks or 3-weeks away.
  
  There's too much inefficiencies and low productivity within civil and public service for government to dare seek upward adjustment of wages and salaries without bankrupting the nation.

  “They pretend to pay us, we pretend to work.”
  — A famous Russian joke about the Soviet work culture in the 1970s – 80s.
  
  The fact — as stated by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Russian Nobel Prize winner, — is:
  “We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”
  
  The government lies to public/civil servants by increasing their salaries/base pay by only 10% and tells them that is best thing happening to them in recent times, while utilities and other prices have been increased by more than 10%. And with the same barefaced lies goes round cocoa farms, telling cocoa farmers that GH¢2,587 per bag, is far better than GH¢3,625, and that it is the best thing happening to them since cocoa farming in Ghana.
  
  Mr President, Ghanaians know that you are lying, you know that you are lying, you even know that Ghanaians you are lying, they also know that you know they know you are lying too, you of course know that they know you are lying too as well, but you are still lying.
  
  The culture of the 35million Ghanaians is built on lies, with everybody pretending about that. The government, politicians, public/civil servants, private sector workers, drivers, traders, farmers, pastors, imams and the ordinary Ghanaian are all surviving on lies. The local media houses and their journalists — like, Pravda, the erstwhile Soviet propaganda newspaper — have become the mouthpiece of the government, selling lies to Ghanaians as truth. The whole economy is subsisting on lies.
