There are over 75,000 ghost names on Government of Ghana Payroll. In addition, there are over 10,000 names of people on payroll who are not qualified qualified to receive monthly salaries since majority of them are over 60 years and have found their names on NADMO and GES payrolls. The NPP must expunge these names to clean the payroll.

President Nana Akufo-Addo delivered a speech of hope as he took the oath of office ---- Here are 11 powerful quotes from that speech. ******** ********* ****** ****** 1. I will protect the public purse. We will provide vision and direction. 2. I ask you to be citizens, not spectators:; citizens, not subjects. 3. It is time to make sure that there is a true separation of powers in our arms of government. 4. I will not let you, the people of Ghana, down. 5. The change we have voted for has to start with each individual. I ask you to be responsible citizens. 6. It is time to define what being a Ghanaian ought to mean. Being a Ghanaian must mean you sign up to a definable code of conduct. 7. I shall protect the public purse by insisting on value for money in all transactions. 8. I see exciting times ahead, the rule of law will be the underlining tenet of our governance. 9. We should learn and accept that we do not own the land, but hold in trust for future generations. 10. State coffers are not the spoils for victorious political parties. I promise to protect the public purse. 11. After 60 years of independence, we no longer have any excuse for being poor.

Thank God Mahama took the bitter but prudent decision to scrape this allowance. It doesn't make economic sense at all. Why shd u be fed 3x daily, free accommodation and then get allowance again to study for a job that is readily available? Why shd university students apply for loans to finance their education while others get freebies? Meanwhile, the best students go to the universities to face these hardships while the average ones are rewarded with these freebies. Mediocrity at its best. Ghana can never go forward.

It appears as if african leaders are incapable of taking the right decisions which will solve their countries economic problems.They are only interested in power and how to hold onto it for years.The reintroduction of the allowances for nurses and teachers by the government is a typical example.University students pay fees and are not given free allowances.Nurses and teachers do not pay fees and they get free allowances.University students access loans to pay their fees,nurses and teachers do not.This does not make sense and the government should stop playing to the gallery.Nurses and teachers should pay fees and should not be entitled to free allowances.They should access loans as varsity students do.The nation's money should be used to make life easier for all ghanaians and not for just a few.We should stop pursuing the colonial era policies which are not relevant to the nation's present economic situation.

I have questions about Bawumiah's lack for fiscal discipline.
Mahama explained that there far more nurses to fill existing hospitals. So, a temporary embargo was put in place while he(Mahama) focused on speeding up the completion of hospitals in order to hire the nurses. Instead doing proper and honest analysis, you insulted him.
Nurses have free education in addition to allowance. Is that sustainable?

Mahama in all his incompetence cleaned up a lot of ghost names in the system and we expect Nana to do more.
Please keep Allah out of the equation and start fixing whatever is broken. Allah has nothing to do with Ghana,s economy.

Their crops always getting spoiled in the farms.

Thank ur star to be in Canada.Where you are .don't the poor enjoy Social welfare assistance?Relocate to Ghana if possible with your Kids and you will understand the word free well well.
we voted well. we will vote for NANA again
so all along you people never knew it wasn't that easy that is why you campaigned on and wit it?.
Restored in March and payment are two different things. Tell them when the actual allowance will be in their pocket.
How much. Is it sustainable? Will it suffice and cushion any future inflation? We wait and see.
We have looked into the case, it is not easy
We looked in to the case, it not easy, the ndc ballooned the national debt from 9.8 billion cedis to 109 billion cedis, block the ndc in opposition.
Bcos your have decided to damagedo the economy
Eiiiii de allowance is coming back???? Den NDC will be in opposition for 90 solid years
U have so many things to do.. reatoration of allowance to nurses is going to keep u in power... listen to what bawumia said in terms of how hard it is to restore this thing
All politician are the same today they this,tomorrow that
The amount also is important not the restoring only.
the value of the cedi is what matters n not the amount. let the govt work to improve the purchasing power of the cedi.
Stupid vic what dose Allah got to do with your so many promises tell them the day you will pay them and stop fooling idiot you know is not going tobe easy but yet you promise them
Ma man take it easy. Never frgt dat u wl die oneday okk!!
