  The take home pay doesn't equate the market demands so what do you expect? Laws are made to be obeyed, you don't make laws to enslave your subjects hence they have a cause to rebel. Imagine salaries of the president down has been streamlined and that sector is quiet. You want those who voted to tighten their belts, no way.

  i have refrained from commenting on anything for a while but this is a provocation , let them get it into their heads its now time for only Akans to rule , and we dont want any mix north south shit both president and the vice should come from majority tribe Akans which are the ashantis and the fantis and we shall see who will carry 90% of the vote . either the other tribes of Ghana get the message that they let us know whether they are our allies or our enemies because war will surely come sooner or later . we Akans have over 90% of the wealth of the nation but the stupid ayigbe /pepeni group claim a third of their votes came from the fantis but there is not a single substantiate minister who is a true fanti . they wage war against us Akans but when we come our and call foul they say we are liars . we are ready now so let them bring it on . long live the republic of Akan

  Whatever numbers that went into tariff increases don't make sense, just reduce it. The ordinary man is suffering too much. Where is the better Ghana promised. The better is only felt by the NDC executive, communicaters and foot soldiers. You have a government that is only good at making the people pay more but can't even take back dubious judgements paid that a court has ruled in favour of government. You have a government that can spend billions on guinea fowls and tree planting. A government that can dash cars to university girls for campaign just to win and come and tax the people to pay more for the government's corruption, reckless spending, etc and expect the people to keep quite and suffer.

  The government to sell those ultilies companies before the demonstraton. Then they should demonstrate against the those companies. Is it Electricity company of Ghana or Electricity company for Ghana? If Government decide to live in communist style thats what happens! If i were the government, i will sell them before the strike date. Then the people will either go in darkness or pay the price!
