POTAG SHOULD NOT ONLY THREATEN STRIKE, BUT SHOULD JUST EMBARK ON IT WITHOUT NOTICE. I PROMISE THEM NOBODY WILL MIND THEM. BECAUSE WE MIND THEM THEY TAKE GHANAIANS FOR GRANTED.

I just google Edmund Oppong Peprah and all the hits attached to his name are strikes here strikes there. Not a single publication to his name. Is it not a shame that after so many years of teaching at the Polytechnic you don't have a single research and publication to your name after collecting book and research allowances all these years? Put a research team together and develop a proposal for funding and do some research instead of the monthly collection of research allowances for no work done. Lazy bones.

Mac, if Edmund Oppong Peprah has failed to publish, it does not mean all polytechnic lecturers have failed same. The point he (POTAG) is raising is bothering legalities concerning conditions of service, which can only be removed through negotiations involving all stake holders (involving the National Labour Commission - NLC, and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission - FWSC). And even with this, it can only be done when the pending conditions of service has expired.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

That's precisely my point Eric. So let those who desired to research and publish get the needed funds to do so instead of distributing peanuts to everyone when some are not researching and publishing. Can you imagine if every year all the book and research allowances given to say lecturers at KNUST is given to the University as bulk cash and those who desire to research submit proposals to the University for research grants? Currently, I can bet my last pesewa that all the research in going on in our universities and polytechnics are donor sponsored from the so-called "developing partners". We can't develop like this. We need to invest and research into our own problems and find the solutions to them.
Of course there are legalities that must be negotiated but I wish our Lecturers rather spend time looking at how this fund can be setup and disbursed rather than looking at their parochial interest as usual.

The truth must be told, anokware John Mahama cannot do the job.

This guy came to the job offering no real vision for the nation, instead he only served up absolute nonsense - Ede be keke - which for some, loosely translates into just existing at the wheels, not knowing which direction to go. To add insult to injury, he is telling us that, like a car, he is only in the first gear in a four-year term, so we can expect to see a fourth gear only in the fourth year. To hear that allegory from a guy and a president who had been a vice-president for the previous four years, and claims that because of the ill-health of Atta Mess, he John Mahama was really the one in charge behind the scenes, then we have reasons to conclude nothing good or extraordinary can be expected that is different from what we have seen from the last four years. The value is going to be the same, and corruption is going to consume all of us under Mahama. Our people tell us, 'Edwa beso'a efiri anopa', to wit, one can gauge the prospects of a good market day from the signs the morning activities project. Right now the country is sinking fast from all reliable indicators. In the last four years, the cedi has depreciated a whole 100 percent under Mahama and Atta Mess. What other assurances are we waiting for? To be hit on the head with bricks?

Look, John Mahama is not cut for prime time, he does not know how, and all his protestations are excuses to cover incompetence and corruption in high places, of which him and his party are direct beneficiaries. What the fuck is Ede be keke? Nonsense!

We are tired of all this ticks. NPP always want to do whatever they could to shift government focus on the nation. They will form everything evil to make the nation ungovernable. Everyday NPP strike, everyday NPP evil style of things. Shame on to them. I know very soon there will be NPP student strike or NPP workers strike.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOUR CONDITIONS OF SERVICE ARE VARIED TO YOUR DISADVANTAGE? WHY DID GOVT AGREE TO POTAG EXISTING CONDITIONS OF SERVICE? WHO DID HE NEGOTIATE WITH BEFORE TAKING THIS UNILATERAL STEP? IF YOU THINK THE BOOK AND RESEARCH ALLOWANCE IS NOT ACHIEVING ITS GOAL, USE OTHER MEANS TO ENCOURAGE PUBLICATIONS WITHOUT DISRUPTING THE ACADEMIC CALENDAR. FOR GOODNESS SAKE, DONT TOUCH THIS. WE WILL NOT ALLOW PEOPLE LIKE OKUDZETO ABLAKWA WHO HAS NEVER WORKED IN ANY GOVT OFFICE AND MADE POLITICAL WEALTH TO RULE US BY FIAT. GOD FORBID.

Is mark the national Potag Chair or its because he has a loud mouth, he started this early this year but did not succeed, please leave the students out of this style you hypocrite. Propaganda each time you open your mouth, you are not a good leader at all and I wonder why the national Chair is not calling you to order.
