Public sector productivity is not a matter for CHRAJ. There are more serious human rights and administrative abuses in Ghana for CHRAJ to deal with rather stray into area that has nothing to do with its mandate.

CHRAJ has gone mad again. What is the basic pay that workers in Ghana receive? When Petroleum products are always high and there is constant increase in utility services. Workers' salary for the day qualifies for only trotro fares and you expect them to work? Ask the Russians and they will tell you this maxim:" They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work."

Productivity in Ghana has been non-existent since our independence; history tells us of low productivity levels of people who become free from servitude or bondage without direction.
Ghana's SSSS has nothing to do with poor quality management material in the halls and offices of state institutions. The constitution of Ghana is the most flawed work product to come out at the hands of Ghana's so-called intellectual and political elite thereof. There has been lack of worthy work product from the presidency through members of parliament to the rest in civil service.
We have not seen improvement in quality of life in Ghana and yet J.J.Rawlings and his killer group, Kufour and his band of thieves, the late Atta Mills and his team of see-no-evil, hear-no-evil team, John Mahama's team of steal and let's steal and all have not and do not the paychecks they collect each month. Thank God for SSSS which has peeled off the mask of incompetence and the abuse of tax collection processes in Ghana.

its unfortunate for those who should know better to pass such comments, where are the tools to work with?, offices are in shambles and equipment non existence yet party-organs like yesdep and lesdep are well equipped and even have 4 by 4 vehicles. furthermore, the single spine is nothing to write home about since after working for more that two decades one is paid less that a 1,000 cedis monthly as an sss salary? what moral right have u to castigate government workers!!!!!

Mr. Chraj, Dep. Boss, please, note that it is MANAGEMENT'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY to establish measurable systems that could ensure improvement in worker productivity in any establishment. There are a whole lot of factors management needs to take into account in this exercise: 1) The social norms and practices of the work-force and the effort workers actually put into the work they do compared to the targeted amount of effort required for that piece of work
You need to know what PRODUCTIVITY IS, HOW TO MEASURE IT in any given situation. Please, do not unnecessarily, exhibit your ignorance.

Rather than improved service from public officials they demand bribes before doing their jobs.Every govt office dealing with the public demands bribe before service

FIRST JUSTIFY YOUR OWN FAT PAY, PERKS AND ALLOWANCES. YOU SHOULD BE PROVIDING YOUR OWN TRANSPORTATION TO WORK LIKE THE POORLY-PAID CIVIL SERVANT, WHO SPENDS 3 HOURS COMMUTING EACH WAY. YOU SHOULD DECLINE THE STATE-PROVIDED CAR AND CHAUFFEUR, RENT-UTILITY-PETROL ALLOWANCES, USELESS TRIPS OVERSEAS, AND USELESS MEETINGS WITH CATERED FOOD!

YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG. OVER 70% OF NATIONAL RESOURCES STOLEN BY THE ELITES AND IT'S THE JOBS-FOR-THE-BOYS IN VARIOUS AGENCIES, AUTHORITIES, BOARDS, COMMITTEES THATS EATING THE NATIONA BUDGET NOT THE PITTANCE PAID TO STRUGGLING PUBLIC WORKERS!

The Banjul Charter, and its Commission do not do Administrative Law: thus

- the Ghana Human Rights Commission, with a strange name "CHRAJ" is neither a Court nor a Tribunal to deal with Government or Public Sector pay; it is a busybody between Ghana Courts and the Banjul Charter; it has no legal status; it should be abolished

In Ghana nobody gets fired from the job, no matter their level of performance!
Complaints are never monitored and nobody cares for the citizen!
Everybody works for and reports to somebody for their pay and the Managers and Directors in the Civil Service who are entrenched and taking in huge beneifts and sitting allowances, with vehicles and bungalows, are to blame! They never get fired, and hence the poor culture of mediocrity andlack of care for the taxpayer is perpertuated!
It all starts from and ends at the top! John D. Mahama is the President! Hold him accountable!
