    Whoever is ultimately responsible for the calamity of this teacher should be immediately transferred to the same region and made to suffer the same consequences as has been meted out to this teacher. What is this??

  • Edward 1 day ago

    This is very sad and very unfair. Posted from Accra to Gushegu and no pay in 14 months? Somebody needs to wake up.

  • Pelicles 1 day ago

    Who gave Mahama the power to do what he is doing? The Ghanaian teacher voted for the mess they are in, and they should live with it.

  • Mensahoo988 1 day ago

    Why? This is unacceptable.. The sector minister must wake up. Even an advance 6mo salary can be immediately organized for her while things are sorted out. Don't tell us it cannot be done. We need action leaders!
