There is certainly an urgent need for very candid talk on this topic. HE The President is right that productivity and work ethic in Ghana remain unsatisfactory.

DISCOUNTS FOR DISABLED PPL AND SR CITIZENS OVER 63YRS GO TO CARP.CA 28. DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA, NOW! 29. dissolve gfa. 30. we need to enact a clause that freezes foreign coaches for our national teams FOREVER, only gh coaches FOR NATIONAL TEAM JOBS. we will invest in them until they become like the ancelotti and mourinhos. 31. we also need a clause that gives a 3 or 5 player quota to local players on bstar squads. 32. INVEST IN HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER 33.WIFI CONNECTIVITY IN RURAL GH 33. THE SEAT OF GOVT MUST FOREVER BE NAMED: FAGSTSTAFF 34. CREATE A C.K GYAMFI COACHIG SCHOOL THAT WILL RECRUIT N TRAIN GH COACHES.

Wow! you read all that into the speech. I did not hear all of it but if you say so.
Maybe it is high time we all started respecting the fact that 9am means 9am not 9:30am or come in for the morning and leave for 4hour lunch or make silly excuses to not turn up for work at all.

Go to Japan and see how hard they work. Even in Brittain and Italy work harder. Focus on work is important. Some people have documents on their desk that have been there for years because they are waiting for the owners to come and pay a bribe? Why is that?

So you knew all this yet you claimed it was Mahama fault that most people are poor. And now you're claiming that Ghanaians are lazy as Kufour did?

Lord Maulay’s address to the British Parliament on 2nd February 1835: "I have travelled across the length and breadth of Africa and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in the country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation.”

Mr. President, you have a genuine point on the need for workers to exhibit positive attitudes towards work. However, Mr. President,humbly, are you not sure that because of high cost of living coupled with low wages have a fair share in workers attitudes? So many workers are taxi drivers, farmers etc as other avenues to make up for the economic deficits created by low wages and salaries? Therefore, they see their work not Worthing those hours and the need to find additional financial source.Maybe looking at it from that perspective too will be of assistance to increase productive.

Leadership corruption among politicians is also very bad work ethics.

Ghana's leaders are more corrupt than even Nigerian leaders.

Ghana leaders arrive at work at 10am instead of 8am, spend half of the day on the internet, useless meetings or on phones chatting with friends and family members.

They steal government properties and go on frivolous foreign trips at tax payers expense.

The list is endless. Ethics in public service must start from the top down.
