If gov. waist money, can they tell how many life of incent people they wasted? If not in Ghana, what country can they be considered as doctors? They better back and continue their job instead of try to go into politics by supporting NPP. They are all NPP doctors. That is why they keep on killing people there.

IF YOU APPOINT VICTORIA HAMAH & NII LENTE VADAPUIJE TO PAY THEM THOUSANDS OF GHS WHEN WE HEAR THEM ALWAYS ON AIR AND KNOW THEY ARE INCOMPETENT HOW DO YOU EXPECT THE DRS TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO MONEY.

Don't you see what is going on? When workers read of AKONFEMOLOGY, MAPUTOLOGY, WAYOMIZATION and other irregularities that the government don't seem to see, then there is agitation. How much was used to inaugurate the new assemblies? The situation we have now in Ghana is just like that prior to Rawlings in '79. How can MPs and political appointees be paid that fat money, rent allowances, car loans and fat ESB when there is no money? Do you know that Doctors duty is a very high risk area? As a matter of fact did Mahama need all these deputy ministers? The prez is a nice man but he is creating some of the problems. Why can't he slash salaries and allowances of himself and his appointees as an example to cut expenditure?
KWAME 11 years ago

he can not slash salaries because that is the basis for the new government. They came in to steal, and they will leave him dry if he changes course. What is happening, will get worse until someone says "enough."

Frank Agyena, How can you call a dubious character like Dramani a nice man. Nice in what? Are you blind to his actions from vice president position up to now? And don't go near his private life. Its a long list: stx scandal, Cuba students' scholarship, Aircraft purchase, Guinea fowl project, intimate relations with famous gay right advocate Solomon Andrews, so many kids out of marriage, mind boggling overspending at the presidency, Israel trip for pastors, etc, etc. Are we serious as a people and nation to choose such a person as president? It must really be true that he stole the elections. God is not sleeping. All shall see the outcome of the elections petition. Anyway, why is he refusing to have the court proceedings shown in public?

You get the nod to spend $600,000 on pastors trip to Israel to pray where as doctors are not been paid ? What a stupid president !. Ghana is doomed under this Mahama administration. Why things are falling apart like that ? Mother Ghana Damirifa due !

Public servants should stop behaving irresponsibly.

Strike action impacts negatively on the populace - government only suffers embarassment.

It is infantile for Dr Adusei to suggest that the newspapers are his only proof for asserting that government wastes money.

We must change the law to make it much more difficult for public servants to go on strike. The right to strike goes hand in hand with the responsibility to serve the public well.

Gov't should look to negotiate no-strike deals with public servants in sensitive areas of public service eg health workers, teachers, the Police etc. Unions must be required by law to hold a paper ballot and give advance notice of a stipulated period before embarking on strike action. Failure to comply with the law should lead to sequestration of union funds by the courts.

This will provide a cooling-off period during which grievances can be resolved to avert strike action.

We cannot allow public servants to hold society to ransom. Let sanity prevail.

So this doctor's evaluation of Government expenditure is predicated on newspaper publication he has been reading? This is shocking. This doctor is not serious. Governments since 1957 has spent money on what they deemed fit based on their program and is not the duty of technocrats to evaluate them. Do you want to be a doctor or a politican?

Whatever, be honest to yourself and be real.If you are younger than fourty years be schooled that the doctors and the university students saved Ghana from the continuous looting and destruction of Ghana's resources by the Acheampong government.Do you remember Acheampong ordering Military jets over Korle Bu Teaching hospital and sending soldiers to chase the doctors out of their apartments. Their continuous strike was the RedFlag that triggered the pesudo revolution by JJ Rawlings.Are you myopic or plaily daft.Don't you see what is going on daily in the electronic media and the print media.The real workers and revenue generators, I mean productive ones in every country are technocrats not the unproductive politician who is fleecing Ghana at every opportunity

SIKA ADURO IS ASHANTI, TAKE YOUR WIFE TO ABROAD FOR PROSTITUTION IS ASHANTI, ADOPT YOUR SISTER TO EUROPE AND PUT HER IN THE RED LIGHT FOR PROSTITUTION IS ASHANTI. KILL YOUR MOTHER FOR MONEY RITUALS IS THE ASHANTI, KILL YOUR UNCLE TO INHERIT HIS PROPERTY IS ASHANTI, BUT THIS ONE THANK GOD JJ RAWLINGS THAT THEY INSULT DAY AND NIGHT HAS STOPPED THAT WOFA ADE3 SYSTEM. BUT STILL KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE TO BURY UGLY DEAD KING OR AN UGLY ELDER AMONG THE CHIEFS IS ASHANTI. GOING TO EUROPE AND COME BACK WITH A BIBLE JUST TO OPEN A BUSINESS CHURCH USING JUJU TO CHARM AND GET POPULATION FOR COLLECTION IS ASHANTI. PASTOR CALLING HIMSELF A PROPHET TELLING LIES JUST TO MAKE MONEY IS ASHANTI. WHAT AT ALL IS GOOD ON THESE PEOPLE? TRIBALISM HERE IN GHANA IS ASHANTIS. THIS PROSTITUTES IN CAPE COAST IF YOU GO INTO DETAILS YOU WILL SEE THAT THE ASHANTI PIMPS LEFT EUROPE GOING BACK TO STAY IN CAPE COAST TO OPEN HOSTELS FOR PROSTITUTION ARE BEHIND THESE CHARACTER THERE. IT IS NOT THE FANTES THEMSELVES DONT BLAME THEM. GO INTO INVESTIGATION YOU WILL SEE THE OLD PIMPS AND PROSTITUTES FROM ASHANTI REGION ARE BEHIND IT. THE AHSANTI GREEDINESS WILL NEVER END. BECAUSE OF GREEDINESS IF ASHANTI DIED HE WANT ALL HIS GOLD TO BE BURIED WITH HIM/HER. INSTEAD TO LEAVE IT FOR THE FAMILY . GREEDINESS WILL NEVER END IN GHANA UNTIL WE KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THESE PEOPLE CALLED ASHANTIS. AND NPP WILL NEVER WIN UNTIL WE REMOVE THE NAME OR THE ASHANTI/AKYIM FROM THE LEADERSHIP. BYE

AND OFFER THEIR SERVICES TO THOSE COUNTRIES THAT APPRECIATE WHAT THEY DO AND PAY THEM ACCORDINGLY. ARE U SURPRISED THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF KORLE BU TRAINED DOCTORS IN USA, EUROPE AND ELSEWHERE. DUE TO BAD GOVT POLICIES doctors trained by tax payers' monies leave for those countries that did not train them to benefit, It is called the brain drain and Mahama and ndc are proud to overpay 80 plus unproductive deputy ministers and tell doctors there is no money to pay arrears of salaries. Does it make sense???

MAHAMA and ndc have never managed any successful business in their lives so how can they manage a country with such out of college novices? They spend 4 years learning on the job then appoint another 80 plus to give them training with fat salaries, fat cars, fat mansions and fat girlfriends.

For the mean time we have no money to pay workers who deliver essential services. What happened to your election promises??? Where are the universities? the NHIS? education?? teachers? nurses? NYEP? water? electricity?? employment? prices? congestion? medical care?? hospitals??

ALL THEY ARE INTERESTED IN IS STEALING THE MEAGRE RESOURCES LEFT and accusing the media for being lazy when they talk about the nation's lack of progress

Government wastes money, say doctors
