The NDC would have to explain to Ghanaians how a dead man came to author and sign a letter!

The opening paragraph states, “I came to serve; I have finished my time here on earth and have moved on to everlasting rest and celestial duties with my heavenly father.”

The immediate question is; how did the dead man come to sign his own personal tribute, since he is already in heaven?

The letter then goes on melodramatically, “As you leaf through these pages of my life’s story, I pray to God that it touches your heart in many positive ways. Weep not, I am not dead. I am alive and awake in the Lord. Ghana will not die; Ghana will live to declare the works of the Lord. As I rest in perfect peace in the celestial realms with my maker, I pledge to always uphold and defend the good name of Ghana. Remember the Lord in all your ways and He will protect you. Stay well my brothers and sisters, I will always be with you. Signed (with actual signature) John Evans Atta Mills...

The government must cut its coat according to its size. It should provide the basic and needed necessities which will promote economic development: roads, bridges, electricity, water, good technical institutions (not so-so universities producing so-so illiterate “graduates”). We keep expanding universities and adding new ones; unfortunately the products are of these universities are not useful to the economy; they don’t have analytical, communication and problem solving skills. Some even don’t know the subject matter of their major fields. The government should revamp the tertiary education system – eliminate some courses, avoid unnecessary duplications, support only viable research relevant to the economy. The government must be bold and freeze all salaries and eliminate unnecessary allowances. They should fire all public servants who go on strike and ask them to reapply for their jobs. They should also cut down the number of ambassadors/envoys. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKE STEP TO ELIMINATE OR DRASTICALLY CURTAIL CORRUPTION.

THRE SHOULD BE SERIOUS WAGE RESHUFLE FROM THE PRESIDENT DOWN TO THE LEAST LABOURER. ALL THE UNNECESSARY ALLOWANCES GIVEN TO THE PRESIDENT,MINISTERS, CEOs,MPs, ETE, ETC MUST BE SCRAPPED.
FROM NEXT FOUR YEARS, LET US ELECT INDIVIDUAL GHANAIANS WHO WILL BE WILLING TO SERVE THE NATION SALARY FREE IN PARLIAMENT.ONLY THEN WE WILL SEE THOSE WHO WILL CONTEST TO SERVE GHANA FREE.(PATRITIC GHANAIANS HOME AND ABROAD, ESPECIALLY RETIREES),THE INTELLIGENTIA,AND GOOD GHANAIANS VOLUNTEER TO SERVE IN OUR PARLIAMENT SALARY FREE TO SAVE THE NATION IS A VERY GOOD IDEA. IF THIS IS INSTITUTED, WE SHALL SEE THOSE WHO WOULD CONTEST FOR SEATS IN PARLIAMENT IN A NATION WHERE POLITICS IS THE SHORTEST WAY TO BECOME RICH. THIS WILL ALSO REDUCE TRIBALISM,NEPOTISM,CORRUPTION,FRAUD IN ELECTIONS AS WELL AS THE NEGETIVE ASPECTS OF ELECTIONS IN OUR SOCIETY. LOOK MAYOR BLOOMBERG HAS SERVED NEW YORK CITY FOR !2 YEARS EARNING $!:00 A MONTH. WE CAN GET 100s OF ABLE GHANAIANS TO DO SO IF THEY ARE GIVEN THE CHANCE.YES THOUSANDS ARE THERE WAITING. PEOPLE, GIVE THOUGHT TO THIS MY SUGGESTION, LET GHANA BE THE !st TO INTRODUCE VOLUNTEERS TO SERVE IN OUR PARLIAMENT. MAY GOD BLESS GHANA. MAGDUKES. NY

I find it strange for the whole President who boasted about ssss during campaign time is now bemoaning its sustainability. For solution, thing of how the Ministries would work effectively to enable the Private Sector to to be viable and pay their taxes. Come to Tema Industrial Area to see the horrible roads and infrastructure under which the factories are working. They have every right not to pay the myriad of taxes heaped on them.
The President should be the first to reconsider the salary approved for him and advise the ministers, Parliamentarians, the dubious judgement debts, high fuel consumption by public officials. The list cannot end. Let us call a genuine forum to discuss this and be ready to implement the recommendations
Let us look into how the nation can generate wealth to sustain this huge public wage bill and we will see the potential of the Ghanaian economy

I have on so many occasions posted that no country can survive and develop by spending more that 5% (five percent) of its GDP on public service salaries. USA, Canada, Germany, Japan, Australia, Sweden, etc. all spend less than 5% of its GDP on public salaries.

Early last year Ghana was spending about 45% of GDP on public salaries and I commented on it when Afari Djan was pushing for 45 more people to parliament.

Now our President says that 60.9% of GDP goes to public service. Mr. President, what can we do as country to bring this down to 20%?

Well asked! The people like most of our leaders in Africa are able to identify the problem but lack skills to solve it. How can those without solution but have a biggest mouth to talk nice and failed or failing their country soo much.
What is the problem of the nation? Why are they continuing voting the same rascals to parlament and goverment?
We have to free our selfs from dependency. Our leaders are beside the west our slave traders.

Mahama does not have the solution for our country as he is the one encouraged the parlamentarians to increase their salaries and that of the ministers and president. Now this hypocrate is standing infront of Ghanaians telling us the country is falling apart due to high per centage of business issued to public servants.

Unfortunately, we are not one to fight this government out because of tribalism and party partizans.

Ghana we cry until one day one will wake up to shoot these leaders down to set an example.

Upon our Gold, Diamond, Timber, Coacoa, Aluminium, etc. and now also oil, we are not capable of develop the nation and give qualities to our people. Why a mess!!!!

Still Ghanaians are sleeping!

You hit it right on the head. They need to cut their allowances and the luxury of luxury life style they are leaving in. Four expensive cars that they can change from left to right. Unnecessary traveling allowances. We the citizens do not make that much compared to what they make only in allowances. The MPs and their wives and concubines are killing this nation of ours. And it is good the President recognizes that and I hope he would do something about his house first before the public.

Look WHO IS TALKING! YOU STARTED IT AND YOU'RE NOW CRYING? You lot AWARDED yourselves HUGE PAY rises and ALLOWANCES even though the WHOLE COUNTRY IS IN A MESS caused by your INCOMPETENCE. SCHOOL children are still learning under MANGO trees, Hospitals have turned into HOSPICES- people go there to die. No Jobs for the YOUTH so they're turning to SAKAWA to get by. They SEE you drive by in cars bought with HUGE CAR LOANS awarded every 4 years to yourselves in PARLIAMENT. NOW YOU'RE MOANING? Are you now waking up to REALITY? Most GHANAIANS cannot get WATER to DRINK even though OUR COUNTRY is BLESSED with many rivers and LAKES. WHY? BECAUSE OUR ELECTED LOOTERS cannot see their way to IMPROVE THE INFRASTRUCTURES WE INHERITED from our colonial masters. They are just tinkering with those OBSOLETE machineries. NOTHING IS WORKING IN THE COUNTRY, Mr President. NO POWER, GET out of your cars and mingle with the people at SODOM and GOMORRAH and YOU WILL SEE THE REALITY OF THE SITUATION. GO the mining areas and YOU'RE LIKELY TO BE SHOT BY AN ILLEGAL CHINESE MINER. AND YOU SAY WHAT? TRAVEL around some AREAS of the NATION and ARM ROBBERS WILL LIKELY SHOOT YOUR HEAD OFF. AND THIS YOU AWARD YOURSELVES HUGE ALLOWANCES TO DO WHAT? YOU are all the SAME: NDC,NPP,CPP,PPP, XYZ!! NONE of YOU HAVE THE COMMON GHANAIAN at HEART. WE ELECTED YOU TO LORD over us and CHOP! CHOP!!

It was the mailman’s last day on the job after 35 years of carrying the mail through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood. When he arrived at the first house on his route he was greeted by the whole family there, who congratulated him and sent him on his way with a big gift envelope. At the second house they presented him with a box of fine cigars. The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures.

At the fourth house he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful woman in a revealing negligee. She took him by the hand, gently led him through the door (which she closed behind him), and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where she blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever experienced. When he had had enough they went downstairs, where she fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage, blueberry waffles, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. When he was truly satisfied she poured him a cup of steaming coffee. As she was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out from under the cup’s bottom edge.

“All this was just too wonderful for words,” he said, “but what’s the dollar for?” “Well,” she said, “last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day, and that we should do something special for you. I asked him what to give you.” He said, “Fuck him, give him a dollar.” The lady then said, “The breakfast was my idea"

he Public sector has become a waste dump full of all types of discarded characters parading as public servants hanging on the neck of the government. Instead of thinking of increased productivity that should bring increase revenue to the government, the TUC who is their umbrella is parochially thinking of increase in wages. Who should produce for them to chop? The country needs a strong willed president to fill this waste dump once and for all and tell them enough is enough. The size of the public sector should be drastically reduced since the sector is over employed. The country is reeling under this spate of useless servants who do not work but ask for wage increases every time a new government comes to power. We are tied of them. Reduce their number NOW!!!.

Why don't you think government employees would not push for higher salaries when their relatives and friends who jump unto the wagons of political parties become rich overnight? When you have MPs, DCEs, MCEs, Ministers, Presidents, Vice-Presidents, send their children and relatives to overseas schools and colleges. Where do they get the money from?

This should be done with good strategy that will make sense out of the exercise. Do not do it the foolish way and turn around and blame the idea.

It is about time the government started thinking outside the box and resorting more to private initiatives which will pay for themselves. The developing naitons are doing this successfully so the blue print already exists in many shapes and forms. Government should start outsourcing / privatising many of its functions. Another solution is to give employees shares in their emplying company to motivate and bring out the best in them. Shares in national companies should be floated and Ghanaians both home and abroad should be given the opportunity to buy stakes no matter how small. Government appointees should not see this as an opportunity to grab state assets for themselves, their girlfriends and family members. Instead ordinary Ghanaians should be encouraged to buy shares in these companies. Where necessary foreign partners can be brought in to provide expertise where we do not have them locally. And please keep the Chinese out because they are wrecking this dear nation of ours.

Let's start cutting the wage bill then with yours the first to go under the hammer, followed by your ministers, followed by the MP's, then we would trickle it down to the Director generals, chief directors, etc, etc, to the least public servant. We would make some money there. Then let's look at corruption which the NDC party headed by John Mahama, use to bathe and paste, and hopefully, we can make some money there as well. Again, we can look at the excess waste eg ghost names in the public sector and there we can make some money as well. The fringe benefits and allowances when we cut them too starting from John Mahama, we can make some money as well. So we can make some serious adjustments starting from the top and it would work.

It is irresponsible,disgusting and disrespectful statement from the president that public sector salaries rendered Ghana bankrupt.With such statement coming from the president indicate he is intellectual deficit and refuse to speak about inflating cost of projects and awarding major contract to foreigners rendering Ghana bankrupt.As Mahama did not recognize corruption,transparency and accountability as major factor contribute to Ghana bankruptcy folks the worse ever corruption is going revile soon.Mahama has forgot that his dubious deals in inflating prices like military plane purchase,hunger,Cuba doctors from US$5,000to US$50,000,stealing tax payers money US$170million deposite in foreign bank and Russia helicopter purchase without tell tax payer the cost of each helicopter lacks transparency and a cover up of corrupt.Folks Mahama has disappoint us he the ability to be president.

Oh yes, that is true, but does he reckon it is so because of the gargantuan increase in his salary, that of the vice -president, his ministers, parliamentarians and all workers in the judicial service. He talks like it is the meagre salaries of civil servants that has increased this. As a solution, I would advise him to reduce by half his salary, that of the vice, ministers and parliamentarians. He should also retrieve the 50,000 cedis paid to parliamentarians as rent allowances, and see if the burden will not reduce.When the NDC was so eager to increase the number of parliamentarians fron 230 to 275, did he not fathom that payment of salaries go with that? Give us a break, populist president.

We need a national economic symposium to l;ay out an economic blue print for Ghana before we become another Kenya.

Lawmakers in Kenya make greater total emolument than anywhere else in the world and it looks like Ghana is not far from that situation.

When visionaries were speaking against the creation of 45 - new constituencies by Afari Djan, idiots were hailing him not thinking about the dire consequence it is going to affect the country's monetary pot. With all their salaries, rent, car allowances and so forth where was this Ali Baba (Mahama)then?

It does not take degrees to rule a country but wisdom and vision. Former Brazalian President Lula was a shoe shine boy and peanut seller but was able to tame Brazilian economy during his administration and that is why the term BRIC- nation (Brazil,Russia, India and China) emerging economy was coined. Visionaries are born and if Mahama can't do the work which was stolen for him by Afari Djan, the gates of Flagstaff House are not under secured locked codes, the earlier he resigns the better it will be for him than to stop whining. Anyway, they say charity begins at home - why can't he come up with an executive order to prune down the salaries and allowances of the Presidency, Vice President, Ministers of State, Parliamentarians and others?

Mahama is visionless. Last week he said he was going to cater for chiefs by paying them salaries? Where is the money coming from? This Atopahene is clueless.
