we are all witnesses to the lies and maliciously abominable agendas of the ewe mafia ruling by proxy today. in as much as the claim to be wanting to do the right think they are incompetent and amateur in everything they undertake to do . half his appointees lack any proper experience and this is their first real job, their actions instead of bringing unity have caused divisions to deepen and even new ones appear . after 20 years of work the npp allowed a fool like kuffuor to rule for 8 years and are now paying very dearly the price of his attempt to impose ahanti domination over the rest of the Akans thus enabling the return of the ndc woe on Ghana. pepeni has copied his partner in crime's style and appointed mainly minority muslim alajihs and ewe mischief s . after this mandate never again will a corrupt , wicked , evil northerner , ewe or ashanti be given the opportunity to lead us no matter what party platform they stand on . the attitude of me and my tribesmen against the Akans and other Ghanaian s will never pass again as its been exposed and we are all now much wiser . yes they will not have an easy ride chopping our money and we will make sure they answer for all their crimes sooner or later

GHANA IS NOT A COMMUNIST NATION, UNIGOV IS NOT AN OPTION. PROBLEM IS "GARGANTUAN CORRUPTION." IN NDC MILLS/ MAHAMA GOVT. MINISTERS EATING WITH BOTH HANDS WHILE BASIC AMENITIES ARE DENIED TO THE POPULACE.

So long as the government does not manage the economy well, paying ordinary workers peanuts while they pay themselves fat, there is always going to be strikes. Nobody wants strikes but it up to Mahama's government to be responsible.

This article shows how uneducated this author is!The situation in Ghana now with many industrial strikes is due to the incompetence of this Gov`t,lining their pockets and expecting others to go hungry.If you cheat people, this is what you get!Even here in Germany,doctors strike to make their voices heard!Nobody threatens or insults them as being done in Ghana.Are you going to close down the hospitals, if the doctors are sacked, as some brainless people suggest?You can`t run a hospital without doctors!Nurses and others are all helping hands!Outlawing strikes will lead to civil unrest and dictatorship.MPs are voted to represent the wishes of the electorate and not for them to line their pockets and disregard the electtorate.Politicians shouldn`t take the electorate for a ride!Our politicians are cheats and therefore don`t deserve anything better!

Who is this uneducated fool who lives in his own world. Don't you think doctors are united when it comes to issues of welfare.very soon doctors with the police and military may join the strike starting with the civilians.We will soon see who will suffer. The military hospital and police only see 30% of cases and there cases that cannot be be handled by doctors in these institutions and have to be referred to these same public hospitals . The Cuban trained doctors use our innocent so called tax payers as guinea pigs for improving their skills.The mistake these selfish and greedy politicians make is asum ing that doctor strikes are political lying motivated instead of finding solution which they were voted and paid by the tax payers to do.they also forget that doctors are also tax payers. Don't infuriate doctors by such stupid writeups. Do you know the number of world class doctors with the GMA.?

Strikes are merely used in a strategically poor Country like ours. Ghana is not leadership deficient but strategical corrupt.

From the salary of which doctor? And for which period ? You are showing how ignorant you are.Doctors don't work like factory hands employed by a private individual who can easily know. The work of the highly trained is more complex so please continue your small factory labour and leave the hardworking doctors alone.

I am convinced that kofi thompson is an illiterate who only has the capacity to write English . I am sure the greedy ndc government has paid him for such stupid writeups.

I hope many people hailed Mrs. Thatcher as the greatest leader in modern era. The reason is that she managed to curb the power of the unions in the UK. The first thing she did was any union member who went on strike would not be paid. It brought down most of the unions and she managed to carry out many reforms.

It is a simple, easy but a bold step for the Govt. to take. Effective immediately it should be mandated that anybody or group of people that will be on tax payers salary can not go on any kind of strike. employment is an individual contract with the govt. and so any individual differences has and should delt with on individual basis. This be a govt mandate and has to be enforce by the public service commission or head of the public services or agencies that hires this group of people and individual. they should be treated as any private company. we have enough of these nonsense.

your talking about doctors,pharmacy and teachers striking but you think Ghana oil and bus systems should be gov run?????? Hell no.. No such thing in usa of gov oil operations... bus's in usa are only run in citys by gov..service between cities are private carrier.. Well known Greyhound.com And they have deadline to follow unlike ghana bus's.. Show up at 7am and leave at noon in ghana...Show up late at greyhound in usa and you will wait till next day for service! Just as Ghana Airways, and Ghana International airway and tema oil have failed( rightly so) Gov must stay out of private enterprise and only operate, Prisons,schools, some hospitals, some water systems for small towns( not accra or Kumansi) Some landfills but not the rubbish collectors
