Workers should be patient for implementation of single spine policy

Kumasi, Jan. 1, GNA - The Primate of the Brotherhood Church, Reverend Seth Adofo has advised Public Service workers, to exercise patience for government to ensure successful implementation of the single spine salary structure.

He said it was prudent for government to resolve technical and other challenges bedevilling the implementation of the policy. Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in Kumasi on Friday, Rev. Adofo he asked workers to pray for God to reveal the best ways of dealing with the challenges.

He asked Ghanaians to co-operate with the Government and support President Atta Mills Administration to succeed. "If we sit and remain aloof simply because it is not our Government that is in power, people should know that the end result affects all," he said.

Government, he said, should revisit the law Causing financial loss to the State", and see how best to apply it so that people do not see it as witch-hunting and retaliation on the part of the government. It would also ensure peace, unity and tranquillity in the country. He asked all Ghanaians to live discipline life and be closer to God and allow Him to be their guide and protector. "Successful communities and countries have sincerely accepted God as their Principal and said there is the need for people to avoid religious fanaticism and fundamentalism", he added. They should refrain from the practice of amassing wealth at the expense of others and be content with what they have and whatever vocation they are engaged in.

Primate Adofo urged people to resolve to stay away from all health hazards and be ready to protect the environment. He also urged students in various educational institutions in the country to study hard and prepare seriously to face the challenging world.
