Ceeboy, you have just revealed your ignorance and declared yourself to be the lowest thinker in Ghana. Did you ever consider how much it takes to bring one Cuban doctor to Ghana? And what makes you think the Cuban's work for free? Why didn't you say they must bring doctors from your village and from your family? Because you guys did not see the value in education. Do you know what it takes to be a doctor? And do you know any group that works as hard as doctors in Ghana?. Let me tell you what I saw about a doctor friend. I visited a doctor friend who had just given birth. While she was feeding her baby, a nurse came running that if she did not rush to the clinic, someone was going to die. She had to leave her suckling baby to save someone else. She did not even have time to feed her baby. Often these doctors don't even have time to sleep, be with their children and spouses. People are banging on their doors at night to come back to work to save a patient. And after all the hard work, some uneducated, corrupt individuals will sit in the office and squander money meant for them? Come on dummy, why don't you tell the parliamentarians and no-good ministers to forfeit their pay to reward these hardworking, sacrificial doctors? Parliamentarians past and present paid themselves what? And for what work done? Come on, let's reason a little bit. If we want to sack people, then lets sack the "good-for-nothing" people we voted to sit idly in Accra. They are our problem! They have used our money to buy themselves the best cars, best houses and still occupy the best bungalows. They have watchmen, servants, cooks, drivers, and everything else. It's a shame and we need to start thinking just a little bit to see our problems.

You never solve a problem via the blame game.This is not about NPP or NDC it is about our Doctors being paid their due.Govt need to sit down with the Doctors and find common grounds.One life lost is tooo plenty.Life is very fragile and precious.We can not afford to gamble with lives.Bringing in these Carrebian trained Doctors from Cuba is short lived.We need a lasting solution to this problem.If we can get the money to pay all the Woyomes etc.we should brainstorm to have our Doctors paid.Doctors have sacrifised and continue to sacrifice everyday but they can not use all their years to go to medical school and come out to save lives for free.Visit a medical school to see what they go through and your thinking will change.Think about this and be the judge.

If we have a few intelligent people like Kwaku I think we are going to propeper as a nation. Unfortunately we have the likes of Ceeboy who believe that MP's deserve 200-300,000 to be paid to them but doctors are greedy when they ask for money. Well across the globe in the developed world doctors are among the top paid not politicians and that is why the have all the best doctors from Ghana migrating. Well give them more Cuban doctors who are neither for free and some people benefit from even the negotiations to get them when our best doctors are lost to US, UK and Canada.

Are the Doctors not being paid their salaries? Those behind the striking doctors are slowly coming out jumping to their support and God is watching. After all people can die that is not their business. Some parliamentarians used our money to buy Gold Chains to decorate themselves, where were the doctors? Some of them are just party agents.

the opposition as a government in waiting should tell GHANAIANS how they would have handled this in a better way if they have one and stop playing kokofu politics. Aferall you said you had an alternative budget. This is a serious matter and you should be seen to be offering better alternatives to prove that you can do better. Otherwise give us a break!

The President of Ghana should just take heart in this poem IF by Ruyard Kipling

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

After all, Government officials just board Planes and go abroad for treatment,when they fall ill.
Politics has entered into the central nerve system of Ghanaians that,everything from toilet to health is seen with the political eye.
Slowly but surely Ghanaians are losing their senses of thinking independently on national issues.Everything concerning Ghana is seen through either the NPP or NDC colour.
Very dangerous for our future.

Articles like this drives me nuts. Listen to those NPP talk, "the government must get a loan and pay." Indeed, then these same nincompoops will acuse the government of driving the nation into a huge deficit. My question is what are you (if who at all)and what is it that you need/want? Must the gov't borrow to pay everyone then? what are your morals? People should die because of money? Look there are nurses who kill themselves at work more than doctors, yet how much are they paid. GREED! GREED! GREED!!! Before we know it, everyone will go on strike, even pensioners. Are you doctors assets to Ghana or liabilities? money concious twerps. See, all will die but none will be burried with a dime no matter how much you make. Ehi sem a kwaakwa

OF COURSE SUCH ARTICLES SHOULD DRIVE YOU TO THE WALL BECAUSE HE IS TELLING THE TRUTH. IF THE GOVT CANNOT PAY THE DOCTORS AND HIS WORKERS HOW ON EARTH IS HE GOING TO GET MONEY TO PAY ALL THAT GANGANTUAN EX-GRATIA. GHANAIANS SHOULD COUNT THEMSELVES LUCKY FOR THESE DOCTORS TO BE IN GHANA WORKING THERE BECAUSE THE COULD BE MAKING A WHOLE LOT BETTER MONEY ELSE WHERE. SO GO AHEAD AND SACK THEM AS IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED AND I GUARANTEE YOU THAT THEY WILL FIND A WELL PAYING JOB IN ANOTHER COUNTRY. IT IS ONLY IN GHANA THAT AT THE END OF THE MONTH DOCTORS ARE NOT PAID FOR MONTHS. HOW ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO PAY THEIR BILLS AND FEED THEIR FAMILIES? THE MPs GET PAID EVERY MONTH. HOW ARE THEY BETTER? ASK YOURSELF.

They are asking for more. I know of a nurse who worked her heart out and was not not paid for several months. I'll admit she did complain, but she never thought of not going to work because she knew other people's lives depended on her. She served her country faithfully, now retired and has not seen a dime for her pension yet. What do you think? Her motivation, "saving lives" her passion for her work was inconceivable. Money is not the key to everything. Tell these doctors to go to other countries and see if they don't become regular care takers cleaning you know what. Travel and see!!!

AM WONDERING IF THE NDC GOVERNMENT POSTURE TILL NOW, IS TO CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE OF INSTABILITY FOR A PRO-NDC MILITARY COUP IN GHANA, SHOULD IT APPEAR THAT THEY ARE LOSING THE COURT CASE ONCE IT START? THAT IS TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR NNP TO COME INTO POWER SO THEIR PRO-LEAD COUP MAKERS GIVE THEM ANOTHER BREATHING SPACE FOR THEIR CORRUPTION AND LOOTING OF GHANA? JUST A CRITICAL THOUGHT.

This is not the way to run government business and policies, through the media using propaganda. When is ndc going to govern properly? NDC appears always to be in an election campaign mode. The people have so called elected you to deliver to the voters; why all this propaganda war through the media with doctors, teachers, etc.The NDC government appear to be novices at the art of government.
