    THERE HAS NOT BEEN SUCH UNREST IN GHANA HISTORY B4. PREZ. MAHAMA IS JUST NOT GOOD FOR PREZ. HE BETTER RESIGNS FOR GHANA TO MOVE FORWARD.

  • Nana Antwi-Berko 11 years ago

    Kweku Asante-Krobea, you're a goat! Are the Doctors better than the nurses? If the nurses agreed to be paid over three payments, why then are the Doctors not at work? Fools

  • OSEI TAWIAH 11 years ago

    You are a Trokosi impersonator, or you think like one. If all minds are the same, then why did the MPs not agree to be paid over 3 payments just everybody else? Think before you write, Mr Idiot.

  • ZoRRo 11 years ago

    Of course if you have a full stomach, you can invite your friends for a dance; meanwhile the doctors are waiting for their salary arears.

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 11 years ago

    Did the government say it won't pay or that it can only pay in installments?

  • Frank Agyena-Karikari 11 years ago

    When they see that others were not paid by installments but even had hefty bonuses and salaries increased by 100%, that is when the troubles started. Do you know how many times government make promises and renegate on them or ...
