  We thought Prof Mills was a weak president, but JM is an apology!!! He is too timid to take action on even a messenger in his office.
  
  Instead of taking decisive action JM thinks he can find a way of pacifying those against him and avoiding whatever will not please the opposition.
  
  Does JM think managing the country is about singing at state functions?

  I do agree with you . Some of them are there receiving big salaries and not delivering. They should be replaced as soon as possible. No production, no stay.

  The huge wage bill is the result of many people recruited into the armed forces that do nothing but sit their arses in barracks eating and drinking subsidised food and liquor. As a result of being idle they have resorted to assaulting innocent, unarmed civilians- the very people they are paid to protect. The officers are also useless because they protect and encourage these crimes against civilians. Only about 20% of the present army is needed and not more. Why should officers be promoted quite often without doing anything for the nation? All these contribute to huge expenditure while the people suffer in silence.

  Yes the Army has duties to perform apart from the standard open ones and many times standby for operations that are not published.
  I agree that part especially the sick and the do nothing ones do mecahnical farming or sent to augment factories and the like.
  Army is the strong hold of the country as such the Defence Ministry need to expand the role of the ARMED FORCES where applicable and legal.

  Public sector managers including the ministries and their minsters have no vision or targets to achieve or work towards, so to them, merely being present at the office or work is achievement enouth.
  If the people at the helm of affairs are working towards the achievement of their leaders vision and goals and they are given targets and objectives to achieve, then failure to achieve these will be enough grounds to dismiss non-performing staff. But this not the case in Ghana.
  Hence people cannot be held accountable. Afterall what goals, targets and objectives are you holding them accountable for if you the leader have not set them any?
  The non-perfomance in the public sector is due to poor leadership drive from the top. Theaders lack vision as to the ideal services standard to offer the citizens hence thos who are supposed to deliver are not.

  "Just cause"! What needs to be done from now on,is set definite performancetargets or benchmarks that have to be achieved or you are gone. It is that simple. But in the same vein,top achievers should be adequately rewarded to demonstrate to all rthat it pays to be innovative and come up with new and better ways of doing things within certain set guidelines. Obviously, we do not want state institutions with defined mandates to abandon their core functions,and become quasi-private entities,all in the name of achieving fantastic 'results'.
  The cases you`ve referred to go beyond "performance",and involve some element of political corruption or criminality that trascends the individual.
  I don`t believe any public organisation will have any difficulty establishing a case of "just cause" or difficulty defending a wrongful dissmisal action initiated by a public procurement officer who spends upwards of six months to obtain customs replacement documents causing time-sensitive imports to be held up the the port;especially when the goods in question are duty-exempt.

  A man was having premature ejaculation problems so he went to the doctor. The doctor said, "When you feel like you are getting ready to ejaculate, try startling yourself." That same day the man went to the store and bought himself a starter pistol and ran home to his wife. That night the two were having sex and found themselves in the 69 position. The man felt the urge to ejaculate and fired the starter pistol. The next day he went back to the doctor who asked how it went. The man answered, "Not well. When I fired the pistol, my wife pooped on my face, bit three inches off my penis, and my neighbor came out of the closet with his hands in the air.
  
  None performing managers should be fired.The Government should make them sign contract and if they cannot produce,they should terminate their contract.

  IMANI is absolutely right.We have got so many square pegs in round holes in top echelons of the public service who are not performing and yet still at their posts.Why should such inefficient managers or whatever they are called be maintained?The government should sack or retire all non-performing managers and replace them with new qualified ones whose tenure of office will be tied to the efiicient performance of their duties.

  Normally that is what should be done. But who is to identify a non-performing manager? If you are worse than your surbodinates, who needs to fire who?

  THIS GUY CLEARLY DOES NOT KNOW WHY GHANA IS ON A DOWNWARD SLIDE TO BECOMING A FAILED STATE.
  
  GHANA IS DECLINING FAST BECAUSE OF LEADERSHIP LOOTING AND LAXITY.
  
  PERFORMANCE AMONG GHANA'S ENTIRE LEADERSHIP IS NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT, SO SACKING FOR NON-PERFORMANCE OR LACKLUSTER PERFORMANCE MUST START RIGHT FROM THE TOP, STARTING FROM THE PRESIDENT OF GHANA, JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA, HIS PREDECESSORS AND HIS SUCCESSORS, ALL THE WAY DOWN THE CHAIN OF COMMAND RIGHT DOWN TO THE MESSENGER.
  
  THAT'S WHY WOYOME AND OTHERS SUCCEEDED IN GETTING PAID OVER A WHOPPING GHC52 MILLION RIGHT THROUGH THE BANK OF GHANA GOVERNOR AMISSAH ARTHUR, MINISTER OF FINANCE KWABENA DUFFUOR, AG BETTY MOULD-IDDRISU, THE THEN VICE-PRESIDENT JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA AND MANY OTHERS.
  
  LEADERSHIP LAXITY AND UNDER-PERFORMANCE MUST START RIGHT FROM THE TOP.

  Freeze public sector pay for at least 2 years followed by 1% increment for another 3 years. Sack non performing managers and bill every dept for the public utilities they use in their respective sectors. Cut massively on MPs allowances. Finally,prioritise your objectives/productivity and get things right b4 you move on to the other.
