I don't know what you people want, youth should continue to suffer from unemployment while old men and women who should retire are allowed to continue to enjoy, fools!!

Are you saying those below the age of 60 years don’t have institutional memory? What kind of analysis is that. If someone knows he is nearing 60 and fails through the system to impart the knowledge he has what it means is our succession planning is not good enough. We should allow fresh ideas to be brought to bear in developing our institutions whilst imbibing the memories of past years

Why don't this moron get it? Why is this lost on this imbecile. This is settled and no need for consultation or debate. The policy itself doesn't make sense. And in top of that the implementation has been arbitrary and abusive. The President took the right decision, something backed by law.

Please are you suggesting that the Extra 2 Years Contract is going to do the Magic?

By the time most people go on retirement, ideally, they may have worked for between 35 to 40 years and during that 35 to 40 years they couldn't transfer whatever organizational memory they have but need an additional 2 years to transfer that organizational memory?

So the question is "What exactly were they doing during the 35 to 40 years of their working life in terms of transfer of organizational memory?

This issue of Contract after Retirement is what is leading to the increased rate of unemployment in our country.

As a country if we have realized that there is no succession plan within the Civil Service, let's create one immediately. What are all the Human Resource Management and Development Technocrats in the Civil Service doing all this while?

I also can't say that the services of retirees are not important or not needed. In the regime of Entrepreneurship, where even fresh graduates are encouraged to start their own businesses, I personally believe that whatever these retirees have under their sleeves could be channeled through private sector consultancies and not to remain in mainframe Civil Service whether as Contract Staff or In-house Consultants. Once upon a time a Retiree was contracted for several years even up to when he was 70 years just because it was said that he was the Only One in a Metropolitan Assembly capable of writing minutes at Assembly Meetings.

Our youth must be privileged to benefit from their seniors whilst in Active Service and not when they have been Spent. Whatever the seniors have under their sleeves must be transferred to the younger ones before their Retirement.

The River of Employment Must Flow for Seamless and Smooth Transition.

My two pence on Suspension of Retirement Contracts.

You want retirees be be maintained whilst the professional and qualified youth remain at home without jobs. What a wicked man.

Hmm but says there is no succession plan in the civil and public service? We are not seeing it because those greedy people at very top (the Apex) don't want to leave, so will not train their subordinates to take over the mantle. They believe when they exit no competent subordinate can step in their shoes.

Both retirement contract and consultancy service have their advantages.

The public servant who has the requisite qualification and due for retirement should setup a consultancy firm to deal with the government on contract basis instead of being on government payroll. Thus they the way for younger people to be employed.

Waaaa hwe o these people have stayed on for 60-80 years and they couldn’t train people and think of succession plan what can they do now. There are many young people who cannot get employment because of this retired people in the system. They do nothing just getting full pay and pension. Just cheating the system. Mahama should not spare anyone whether Professors or messengers they should all go home. If they had succession plan for themselves they will not stay and drain the nation.
