They muddy the waters from the source and come to complain at the estuary that the water is dirty.

Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo’s form of power drunk is very primitive, worst than that of Mobutu Sese - Seko.He has no respect for anyone either within or outside his party; except when he sees you to be buying into his ideology. This extinct primitive ideology, which is stale and unproductive for nation building and also prescribes hatred and racism against opponents, is not only outrageously abhorring but gross indelibly stinking and evil. This does not fit in this digital age where countries everywhere are progressing.

What about the Judicial Services people that went on strike. The fact of the matter is that this is a bad Govt that can not pay workers but find money to pay its communicators to shower insults on people. How are the ministers being paid. The Govt should tell the nation how the much the ministers and the communicators are being paid and what other allowances they are receiving. Nana Addo can not influence all medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists and judicial personnel in the country. It is stupid and foolish to have this childish thinking.

In this country, we have a very bad educational system. We've made it so difficult for brilliant students to get in to the medical school hence the shortfall in supply of doctors. Again, because it is so tough to get in there, those fortunate few, who are by no means smarter than the rest of us, tend to believe they are a special breed of human beings. That notion is pumped into their heads right from medical school and they demand special treatment everywhere. For me, we have created monsters who have no value for human lives.
I do empathize with them for working and not being paid or for their poor conditions of service. They have every right to be upset about the situation but honestly their demands are outrageous.
We created the mess, we have to deal with it. Good luck.

Govment should delete all those greedy doctors from the system and bring Cuban doctors to our rescue. When they swore the oath to care for the sick whether rain or shine,was there a portion in the oath that stated that if conditions of service was not good,they should resign. Greedy,senseless doctors God will judge all of you for your selfish interest.

Ha..haa ...I think this guy is ignorant on collective bargaining negotiations. The Doctors have breached the set rules in negotiations and must be told in plain language. You don't go to the negotiation table with such intransigent position and telling the representatives of your employer how you want the outcome to be. In any meaningful negotiation, deadlocks are expected but you don't rush to embark on strike actions - its often the last resort. Meeting each other midway takes a lot of patient and cool heads. After all the ultimate should be a "win win" by both parties where non is so dissatisfied or happier. Getting to "yes" comes with a lot of drills and technicalities. Ghana really has a long way to go because Doctors by nature of their training should understand their conditions of service before even getting down to practice. It is sad to listen to the utterances of their general Secretary and the conclusion is nothing but total nativity. If you want to enjoy the perks that goes with position of the politician, what do you do ? You simply resign your practice and jump onto that boat. That's a fair game. Comparing to make a case for your agitation low balling.
