Listen to me ! You need to travel outside and see. You don't have the slightest idea of the various subsidies and help available to people in the advanced Countries.Part of the taxes collected is used to help the poor weak and vulnerable in Society,in Several ways. .
Taxes and prizes of Services are not irresponsibly increased just because money is needed to build say ,a School here or there.
So don't Stay in Ghana and think Subsidies is a Waste of money.
To be honest with you,African leaders especially Ghana Leaders,with exception of Kwame Nkrumah,Dr Hilla Limann both of CPP, and Kuffour of NPP, all other leadership aside from the 3 mentioned above,are an embarrassment to mankind,and Shame to the blackman.

I 100% support government to scrap allowances paid to trainees such as nurses and teachers. What differentiate nurses and teachers from other students studying professional courses in the University, Polytechnics and other tertiary institutions. Its been a big drain on the national Kitty and government should be bold to scrap it even if it will lead to loss of votes in 2016. Which profession is not difficult and needs money to undertake? Mr Adinkrah Amo should come again.

Who says nurses are more important than everybody else? Let the government start giving farmers allowances too, because nobody can survive without food even for one week?

We are allowing some professions to hold us to ransom and it is not right. If there is a decision to scrap allowances because we want to sanitize the system, why complain? Many nurses have not been fair to us. They troop out in their numbers for so-called "greener pastures" after receiving their training - plus the allowances, so it is time to review our stand. If the allowances have been scrapped, so be it!

You think someone used his position to amass wealth for himself just because he wants an allowance scraped off? Please spare us the trash. Prof. Badu Akosa is the most honest and selfless Ghanaian i have ever know. To me, he is the best President that can ever happen to Ghana even though he has no chance of becoming one. Sit with him for a second and you will know the Ghanaian can think just like any of the Big guns. You don't it is good to call people names just because they don't share the same opinion with you.

We should not be emotional about this issue.In as much as we hold Prof Akosah in brief for using his office to amass wealth we should also consider his position on the issue of allowances for the nurses in training .Why did the ministry of Health Instute payment of allowances for the nurses in the first place.I believe a lot of factors were taken into consideration.I believe also that those factors continue to exist.If the reason for scrapping the allowance is merely due to financial constraint then it is flimsy.Professor Akosah as a pathologist does not intereact with nurses since most of his work is confined to the the morgue and surgical pathology department. Thus he does not see when student nurses are asked to go on night shifts when others were enjoying the warmth of their beds every night.As a pathologist he never experiences the inconeviences of adjusting once sleeping time and habbit every two weeks or so.If it is for lack of financial resources that the government is trying to eliminate the payment of allowances to the student nursses, then the president should consider scrapping allowances paid to parliamentarians,ministers , government funcionaries and all who benefit from allowances in addition to their wages and salaries which is more of a waste.

There is no question that the economy is suffering massive challenges, but there is absolutely no question too about discouraging our nursing propfession. They are a pillar of the health of the nation, especially when we are striving to establish ourselves as a nation of prosperity and development. Ghana is not broke, The economy will have deliverance so long as we remove corruption and the government is seen to be fighting it. Let's not make this a country of privilege but one of equitable distribution of wealth. John Mahama should listen to advise by all means. But the mark of a great leader and not the ordinary, is to shift the chaff from the grain.

What a shame!. This is typical of the state of behaviour in Ghana where just adopt to telling lies and fabricate stories without any conscience of telling the truth. In Ghana today a liar, a fabricator, a violent person, the lawless, the indiscipline and those who drag the decency of our community into the mud and promote social decadence sadly, are those who seem to rule society. It is sad Kwame Adinkra Amo could not counteract or oppose Prof' Akosah's line of argument in an intelligent manner by applying simple logic to his views but instead Mr Ainkra Amo disgracefully stooped so low to fabricate stories in making hollow and nonsensical claims against Prof. Akosah. Even if Prof. Akosa and his generations were accorded with free education and allowances during their era, it is only the 'fool' who would maintain or argue that the Nation should continue paying allowances to nurses or doctors or whichever professionals even if she cannot afford it. Every progressive nation makes a continuous assessment of it social and economic strategies, policies and priorities the need of the people to maximise resources provide seamless services, help and support to the citizens and this is one of the areas Prof. Akosa is talking about to generate intellectual and intelligent debate. So Mr Amo, lies and innuendos would not watch. You have rather exposed your shallow minded. You cannot moot any intellectual or any sensible argument. Please Mr Amo, learn to show self-respect and decorum. Stop appealing to the yobs!. 'Adinkra is a cloth of wisdom but sadly this person, Amo sounds stupid

The outcome of the govt's plan to scrap allowances given to nursing students will be a disaster for the nursing profession in ghana. One only needs to look at the current cost of nurse education and the burden it places on families and basically by extrapolation know that less people will go into the profession, and those who are able to afford it will only do so for the future benefits they intend to reap and not for compassion reason. We now complain about rude , lets just wait until nurses go into the profession only to try and fleece the system

You know where to go if you have evidence that he illegally amassed wealth whilst in office as Director General. This is becoming too much in GH. Nothing is static. The policy in his view has outlived its usefulness. Students attending tertiary institutions have had to fall on the students' loan scheme to fund their education. Pay back when you have finished and gotten a job. When you have completed and don't work in GH or want to work in the private sector, gov't has no qualms. It is their democratic right. All these allegations are just blunt lies and do not aid in proper nation building. This is time for serious rethinking.

Why is it that some govt employees are not being fair to other future employees? Do you take into consideration the poor who wish to give out their quota to mother Ghana? Please give we the trainees a break about this scraping of allowance. In nursing a patient, the nurse need to treat the patient holistically. We tackle their psychological and sociological aspect as well. Please 'BIG GUYS' give us a break to reason psychologically to study our books because we have a long way to go. Please NDC govt, it will be you that will suffer during election. NO ALLOWANCE, NO VOTE. Thank you.
