    Well done your excellency. But the best way to put smiles at soldiers faces once again is by increasing the peace keeping money. The 54 is seriously paltry and must be taken a second look, that is the most important thing. Se ...

    Dear readers,
    I think is better to have it in bulk when they arrive back in Ghana rather than being paid daily or monthly basis. At least they're being hospitalized for free until end of their mission.

  • Kushman 7 years ago

    It is their monies, pay them and let them decide What to do with it. They can choose to have it paid directly into their bank accounts back home so that they can fulfill their family responsibilities. Seamen don't do much pur ...

    Money is like invincible god. Since it is legal tender for debts and all kinds of payments, money can have strong influence on the bearer, positively and negatively. Many often than not, negatively. Many workers may even pref ...

    Has anyone thought about how they can keep their money safe while on operations? Will they keep the money in their tents while on operations of carry it in their pockets? What about soldiers stealing from each other?

  • Shaftesbury 7 years ago

    It's always been this way with soldiers pay they use the money to buy other items while there and the money is safe

  • Prince Abibirim 7 years ago

    My brother come up to the 21st century, soldiers on peacekeeping missions live in barracks on assignment. It is only when they are in the actual field operations that they use tents. And they can put their monies in banks.

  • Observer 7 years ago

    Are there any empty barracks for them to occupy in their operational theatres abroad? Is there any country where barracks are constructed waiting for the day peacekeepers might come?
    Tell me more.
    Even if they are able to ...

  • kem 7 years ago

    Soldiers never receive their money in Ghana. They are always paid before they arrive in Ghana. Go to Burma Camp and interview soldiers. Cheap politics.

    You are right but the later stages of Mahama administration on this issue was very nasty ???? and this is why this stance is applauded and relevant. Go ahead and interview the soldiers and you will know
