As a leader, you don't do certain things at certain times. You see, in the midst of our present economic crisis it was very stupid for government to give expensive vehicles to chiefs and buy sanitry pads for school girls. When you do that you lose public sympathy. It is unfortunate Mahama, being a university graduate, does not know this. This is how far our useless university graduates have brought us.

Government seems to be approving strikes as a first resort in labor disagreements.

Stop paying workers who are on strike. You encourage them when their salaries are intact. You cannot change the constitution on right to strike but you are not compelled to pay
Mr Government - people are waging a war on you and you better recognize this and use the power we have given you smartly.

NDC GOVERNMENT should start using our resources wisely,strategically,meaningfully,profitably but not wastefully.
This is just an icing on the cake,the tip of an iceberg,a piece of the whole puzzle,an ingredient in a certain recipe,a factor in an equation,
THE ACTUAL TSUNAMI,VOLCANO IS COMING UP SOON:DAILY DEMONSTRATION.

NDC has taken the citizenry for ride for soo long,and it's about time,they started thinking about the citizenries future,situation,welfare and safety.

Five and half years of waiting is quite too long,for a child to have patience for a Dad to honour a promise to him.
NDC IS 5 1/2 YEARS OLD IN POWER,WITH OIL FLOWING AND ALL THE NATURAL RESOURCES AT HER DISPOSAL,BUT NOTHING POSITIVE HAPPENING.

I PRESCRIBE DAILY DEMONSTRATION,RATHER THAN JUST WEEKLY THEY ARE PLANNING TO EMBARK ON.

If these goons are bent on making the country ungovernable and in the process damage the fragile economic recovery, then I will consul the Minister of Employment and Labour Relations Haruna Iddrisu, to introduce an amendment of the existing Labour Act, to deny workers who embark on industrial action their wages. Henceforth, no work no pay. It defies logic that one can withdraw their labour and still expect to receive their pay packet for no work. No. Enough is enough.

Government must put in place a strategy to stop these NPP idiots from wrecking the country.

Start dismissing some of them for inciting anarchy. Jail some if they have to be jailed.

I think this is mere sabotage and must never be tolerated as it will set a precedence and end up grooming our children to grow up to be violent and demonstrators at the least instance. It is not a good thing at all.

Since when did Ghana become so intolerant?

Chairman Rawlings where are you? We miss you. I can bet my last penny that JJ will not tolerate this nonsense from these NPP sponsored demonstrations and strikes. He would surely deal with these nation wreckers the way he believes is good for the peace and prosperity of Ghana irrespective of what the international community would say or do. Ghana and Africa as whole needs men like JJ Rawlings to pump massive sense into the heads of such people who hid under the umbrella of so called democracy to achieve their stupid selfish ambitions.

Why, why, NPP/Akuffo Addo? Why do you want to destroy Our dear Ghana? If you want to be the president of Ghana, please go through the ballot box and stop resorting to negative tricks.

hello workers, be careful of your demands otherwise you will play into the governments' hands and force it to retrench some workers to be able to meet demand in wage increase.

The government should start publishing names of those workers who were receieving salaries for GHOST NAMES on payrolls. They are the ones behind these demos. All of them are NPP thieves.

Sit down with the authorities and discuss your grievances, and find solutions. Offer some practical solutions to gov't for the country's problems.

That would be eminently sensible.

It is a joke to see our unproductive workers demonstrating. These lazy and unproductive workers do not deserve even 50 cedis a month as wages or salary. Reporting for work and not being productive does not help the economy in any way. The General Secretary of the TUC, the TUC and the workers should rather learn how to be productive at their work places. This political orchestrated demonstrations will not help anyone in Ghana. Let us produce or manufacture for our local markets, do serious exporting and stop this buying or importing and selling economics if we want to have a sound economy..

The world's view of Ghana with these demonstrations is not good for business in Ghana. Continue and it will make it more expensive to do business in Ghana. Take a look at Kenya, Rwanda and Ethiopia . Ghana is more endowed but peaceful environment is helping those countries to develop faster than Ghana. Kenya has some security issues but not labor. Labor unrest does not help any economy in the world.Ghana compared to her West African neighbors is good. Ghana cannot be built by any government but the people. Change work attitude, pay taxes, give advice instead of insults, patronize made in Ghana food and goods, use Ghana Cedis instead of US dollars in doing business in Ghana , export more,attract tourist who can spend some money in Ghana. God bless Ghana.

They can organize weekly demonstrations, and they should be prepared to pay their workers for those days. I don't think the government must pay workers for those days
