    What does NDC really want for Ghana? This whole exercise is meant to eliminate ghost employees from government payrolls and the NDC finds this as an issue. Oh my God, these people (NDC) are a great mess for Ghana, TRULY.

    Mr Pres the NPP's definition of employment is sacking NDC supporters who are also Ghanaians, and employing NPP. Is this fair? I thought this happens at the strategic management level but now its everywhere

  • J. D Mahama 7 years ago

    Why did the NDC also filled those vacancies with their foot soldiers when they were exiting from governance in the last minute. Was that also fair, Mr. Dickhead?

    NDC should not have hired and dumped so many unqualified people into the payroll without circumspection for the future of our country. What goes up must come down somehow.
