The government should try to pay the agreed arrears and then FIRE them. Anyone interested in working for the government should reapply for the job and made to sign a new contract which will make a strike action illegal and do away with all the bogus allowances. If they don’t like the new conditions they can go and set up their own practices or even leave the country. Those who owe the government and are not re-employed should be made to pay the government in full. Life may be difficult, especially for the sick and their close relatives but sometimes one has to take the bitter pill or bite the bullet. Mahama should not pamper anybody or group of persons (including his own “close” associates or the party); it will be better to be a one-term nationalistic president who will ensure development of the country than to be an ineffective two-term president. TO HELL WITH ALL THE “STRIKERS”.

Agalga, looting the nation's treasury is illegal too and indefensible.

How can a govt dole out over $22 million for the planting of trees and the rearing of guinea fowls to Rlg(with nothing to show for that investment), but refuse to pay Doctors their emoluments after earning that through hard work ?

Where did the GHc8 billion budget deficit go ?

This abominable ill-bred bitch-wolf calling itself Agalga should spare us our ears.

Ghanaian Doctors deserve better than these senseless words.

All of a sudden nonentities want to portray to the world how close they were to the late President.

Those who had to chat with him for one hour everyday, those Deputy Ministers who had to call him every morning before the man could even brush his teeth, and still those who would be called to the Castle by the late President to express his appreciation for job well done after they had gone to insult political opponents in the media on his behalf.

HEY OPNIPA IT DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. THE COUNTRY DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH DOCTORS AS IT IS RIGHT NOW SO HOW CAN YOU AFFORD TO FIRE THEM. HERE IN THE US AS A PHYSICIAN I GET PAID WHAT I CONTRACTED FOR AND NOT WAIT FOR MONTHS BEFORE BEING PAID. IF THEY ARE TO DO AWAY WITH ALL THE "BOGUS ALLOWANCES" AS YOU PUT IT THEN IT SHOULD BE FOR ALL THE GOVT WORKERS ENJOYING THE SAME AND NOT ONLY THE DOCTORS. THE PROBLEM IN GHANA IS THE GOVT GIVING OUT BUNGALOWS, CARS, FREE FUEL TO ALL THESE MPS AND GOVT WORKERS. ALL THESE THINGS NEED TO GO AND MAYBE PEOPLE WILL NOT BE EXPECTING THEM. BUT THEN IT WILL HAVE TO START WITH THE MPS THAT ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ALL THESE PLUS EX-GRATIA BUT YET DO VERY LITTLE FOR THE POOR. UNTIL THEY PAY THE DOCTORS WELL THERE WILL ALWAYS BE STRIKES. I NEVER WORKED IN GHANA AS A DOCTOR SO I CANNOT SPEAK FOR THEM. I WAS NOT TRAINED IN GHANA EITHER. HERE I CANNOT AFFORD TO BE ON STRIKE BECAUSE I HAVE STUDENT LOANS TO PAY AND OTHER BILLS.

Even in USA with hundreds of Medical schools and churning out thousands of Doctors cannot even fill all their vacant Doctors slots and you are calling the government to fire the Doctors? What a dumbass.

A significant number of Ghanaian public servants are spoiled, lazy and outright incompetent. All they care for is opportunity to cheat the government and “allowances”. They work about 2-4 hours of the day. The doctors refer the patients to their private clinics – in effect they use the hospitals as conduits to funnel clients or recruit clients. The lecturers recycle old notes which they photocopy and sell to students. The pharmacists pilfer drugs or also refer clients to their private “drug stores”. Some public servants go to work at 10:00am, go to lunch from 12:00 to 2:30pm and close at 4:00pm; and then go to fill their pot bellies with beer/kebabs and chase girls with the bribes they collected at work.
I bet you; at least 50% of Ghanaians workers cannot survive in US, unless they undergo serious retraining, indoctrination and change their attitudes.
I know very well that there is a shortage of doctors in Ghana before I made that statement. I said they should be allowed to reapply for their jobs (under different conditions). If they refuse to reapply where will they go? There aren’t enough private practices to absorb all of them; or they will go set up offices in some single rooms.
The government should FIRE any group of persons who go on strike and each employee should be made to reapply for his/her job. They can use the opportunities to remove the chaff and also to downsize. The public sector is outrageously bloated and grossly inefficient. There are far too many MPs, ministers, directors, deputy directors, assistant directors, etc.

I really do not know why some of these ministers do not show maturity. They need to learn communication skills. The minister is saying the Doctors have a case. if it is so, then this is not how to talk to them. Soldier and police are not supposed to go on strike but try not to pay them on time and what is due them and see what will happen. The minister must note that the Doctors, despite the oath are also human.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SO YOU BETTER SHUT UP. I WENT TO MEDICATL SCHOOL IN THE US AND I HAD TO DO A FOUR YEAR RESIDENCY. IN THE WHOLE WORLD THE ONLY COUNTRY WHOSE DOCTORS WHEN THEY COME TO THE USA DONT GO THROUGH RESIDENCY MAY BE CANADA I AM NOT EVEN SURE OF THAT. APRAT FROM THAT IF YOU ARE COIMING FROM UK, FRANCE, RUSSIA,AUSTRALIA, YOU NAME IT YOU HAVE TO TAKE ALL THE EXAMS THAT THE MEDICAL SCHOOL STUEDENTS TAKE AND THEN GO THROUGH THE RESIDENCY. SO GHANAIAN DOCTORS HAVING TO DO RESIDENCY IN THE US DOES NOT MAKE THEM INCOMPETENT. THE US WILL LOVE TO HAVE THEM BUT MOST OF THESE PEOPLE FOR THE LOVE OF THEIR COUNTRY ARE STILL THERE AND DONT GET THE RESPECT AND PAY THE SHOULD BE GETTING. THE GOVT NEEDS TO THANK THEM AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEIR NEEDS. THE PROBLEM WITH THE GOVT IS THAT WHEN ANYONE OF THEM IS SICK THEYGO OVERSEAS WHICH IS A SHAME AND ABUSE OF GOVT MONEY. THAT IS THE ONE THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

You don't necessorily need wisdom to be a doctor; all you need is the academic knowledge and training. Most of the doctors are not wise that is why they are kicking against arrears payment in three installments at the expense of precious human tax payers lives; the same tax payers money that helped train them.
Wisdom is very expensive than academic training and not everybody has it. Also, it is not thought in class but a gift.

An American, an Englishman and a Japanese fellow were discussing their respective countries over drink at a London pub one evening. The English fellow mentioned how that British medicine had progressed so far that doctors recently had taken a single liver and cut it into six pieces then transplanted it into six separate men in need of a healthy liver. This had resulted in six new workers in the job market. At this, the Japanese guy said that in his country doctors had cut a lung into twelve pieces, transplanted these into twelve people in need of healthy lungs, thereby putting twelve new people in the job market. Not to be outdone, the American said, "That's nothing. In the U. S., we took one asshole, made it President, and now there are 10 million people in the market for a job and going on strike!" .

Taking sides is not a ministers job. Doctors are not animal, talk to them and find a solution.

When will this nonsense about strike being illegal stop? What about gov't's inactions, are they not equally illegal?
How come drs must only go strike before their complaints are resolved. You can check, all the issues that the doctors raised since 2011 have needed a strike action or threat of it before any of them were resolved. If drs were really essential service providers like govt keep saying, would this have to happen?
Drs had to go on strike before they were migrated unto single spine. They had to go on strike before the gov't realised that they owed them arrears, and now they are on stike again bcos of the schedule of payment of the arrears and the reduced pensions etc. What kind of stupid govt is this, with stupid ministers like Agalaga.

Greedy B... Presisdent, government, ministers& MP's have not shown leadership. Why not schedule their own huge pay-outs in these times of money crunch. That being said, doctors should have shown that they are better humans. Hostage-taking with casualties shold be reserved for terrorsist, so how far should our sympathies go? If they don't remember God, the employer can easily divide them & rule so that they are even worse off. Make a new contract spelling pay/work conditions. Use the first instalment to pay any doctor who will collect all, after which he will be sacked, but can re apply on the new terms. Thenwe will see the stubborn ones who just want to make a statement against the good people of Ghana. If no one should owe no one else, how about our mothers who looked after us?
