Please stop playing politics with our lives. Long before the elections, there were moves to open financial clearance for sorely needed workers. Nurses went on demonstrations and cursed the Mahama government for not employing them. About 8,300 nurses were then put on the financial clearance list BEFORE THE ELECTIONS, when their financing had been secured by the Ministry of Finance. Graduates had even formed an association of unemployed members. The IMF conditioned Mahama government imposed employment embargo also affected my wife,a graduate and hardcore NPP member. Luckily, she was not unemployed after her National Service in a hospital, she stayed on there voluntarily for years until with the construction of a bigger new hospital to replace the old one in which she had faithfully been working on a pittance allowance all these years, the dire need for the hospital to employ "casuals" like her made the hospital ask for financial clearance when LONG BEFORE THE ELECTIONS, the embargo was partly lifted. She, and hundreds of graduates were invited for interviews. So, after I had sponsored her, paid for her university and still suffered and scrimped all these years, I gladly found with difficulty a few hundred cedis for her to buy a suit...formal office wear and to make copies of an internship report as part of the requirements. She and a lady colleague, an NPP constituency seccretary,her best friend who had also been on the staff on a meager allowance were looking forward to finally being formally employed by the GOG (Government of Ghana). Of ending this casual employment status. NOW THIS STOP!! My wife is mad, her friend is doubly mad and I am raging mad!!! Sop playing politics with our lives. PLEASE RE-OPEN THE FINANCIAL CLEARANCE FOR THE 8,000 PLUS NURSES AND ALMOST 2,000 POLY AND UNIVERSITY GRADUATES!! THAT MAKES A TOTAL OF ABOUT 10,000!! So, the Sharp Tooth Okudjeto may be right when he says nearly 23,000 jobs have been cancelled! I fear the real motive is to sideline people like my wife and her friend and for the current big men create “jobs for the boys”, by employing NPP members in place of the perceived NDC employments. So, I fear she may continue as a casual worker, whilst some boy or girl of some NPP bigman is put in her and her friend’s place! Stop playing politics with our lives!!! Parents and husbands are suffering from continuing to support their unemployed children and spouses!!!

About 8,300 nurses were given financial clearance after going on demos and cursing the Mahama government. So also were hundreds of hospital administrators' given financial clearance...before the elections. My wife, a hardcore NPP member, is one of the administrators to be employed, a graduate who did her national service in a hospital and with the rampant unemployment, and IMF influenced Mahama employment embargo.stayed on there for years on a pittance allowance awaiting financial clearance. She and hundreds were duly interviewed, she got scarce hundreds of cedis from me for a formal office dress for the interview and for printing and binding an internship report as part of the process...AND NOW? I am mad! So also is her best friend, an NPP constituency secretary, who was also on the financial clearance list, who was even at post before my wife there! So, add 8,000 plus to about 2,000 and you get 10,000! At least that I know. I suspect this stop is to allow the government to get jobs for the boys...in order that known NPP boys and girls can be put on the current list or the people like my wife and her friend will stay casuals on very meagre allowances, to be supported further financially by suffering husbands like me, who sacrificed and suffered and paid her fees to get my wife through all those years of university! Approve the genuine financial clearance of the nurses and health workers now and stop playing politics with our lives! Sharp Teeth Okudzeto may have a point there!

This baby with sharp teeth must go to where he belongs.... A cage. That's the rightful place for him. He will learn some wisdom there.

go away Okudjeto. when u had the chance to employ teachers from UCC and Winneba wat did u do. u went in for your party folks who didnt even qualify in the first place. how can you reject Education graduates and go in for B.A and B.Sc graduates when u said u needed teachers. at best you take the B.Ed and and a few of the B.A and B.Sc to it. this guy better shut up oooooo. i hate speaking this way but at times they provoke us.

This animal look Ablekwah has never seen talking or telling the truth.If it comes to job lost,why is he pointing his fingers on Nana Addo and not his dead goat president mahamah who sent Ghana backwards yet we had people like you okudzeto Ablekwah, Kofi Adams,Koku anyidaho,Ofosu Kwakye, Omane boamah,Allotey Jacobs,Solomon nkansah and co.to come out boldly to defend Mahamah who didn't know what he was doing. Relax Nana Addo is a man of intergrity he is not like your president the dead goat. You will soon be called to answer some questions before the court of the land. All the thieves in Mahamah era will face the law . And you are not excepted. You guys will runaway from Ghana yet Interpol will bring you back to face the law.When it comes to developments keep your mouth shut.For you guys are the downfall of our beloved country Ghana.Fire burn all NDC appointees and your corrupt president.Long live Ghana , long live Nana Akuffo and his appointees .
