It is a foolish decision.
We need to stop it,it is waste of tax payers money,the budgetary allocation they are talking about to defend that stupid decision came out of tax payers money.

AUTHOR : EBBY ------- THE LORD WILL HEAR OUR CRIES ON DEC. 7TH---- It's only the deaf, dumb and cruel foreigners masquerading as Ghanaians that fail to see the unprecedented hardships the citizens of this country are going through. You have eyes but you can't see. You have ears but you can't hear the cries of the nation. All because you benefit from the government robbery and corruption that have decimated every fabric of the country. The Lord will definitely hear the cries of His people and deliver us from criminals like you and your devilish National Demonic council of gangsters.

AUTHOR: MAHAMA B3 KO ------- *** ---I wonder why Mahama, Amissah-Arthur, KOKU ANYIDOHO, Asiedu Nketia, Agalga, Inusah, Iddrisu, Limuna, Allotey, etc, etc are not responding and have not responded to any of the lectures the intelligent and brilliant Economist, Alhaji Dr. Bawumia has been giving over the past 8 years and now displaying such mindless drivel. The latest lecture of Alhaji Dr. Mahammadu was titled " The State of the Ghanaian Economy, A Foundation of Straw or Concrete" where the incompetence, ineptness and corruption of Mahama and his NDC looters were exposed very, very horribly. This is what all these characters must respond to, not the silliness that toddlers will not even engage in. And if they cannot which is the case, one does not understand why Mahama is so desperate about his dwindling fortunes at the polls. The NPP led by Akufo Addo and M. Bawumia have the mandate of Ghanaians to lead this country to address the foundation of straw laid as a consequence of incompetence, mismanagement, looting and thievery, corruption and a profound and astounding lack of any vision

Was it a wise decision for Kuffuor to use state gold to make a solid gold chain for himself at the expense of the state?You are not even ashamed to question the wisdom in giving gold watches to workers who are retiring after 30 years or more dedicated service to the nation.Will you question the billions of cedis and other gold-plated benefits you will get when you leave parliament?After all this not the first time the BOG is giving gold watches to its retiring staff.Thank you BOG for valuing your retiring hardworking,honest and loyal staff and giving them fitting rewards.

The honourable MP please don't be a hypocrite.You rightly said that what is good for the big men is good for the ordinary man.Have you ever taught about the fact that what is good for the Member of Parliament is equally good for the ordinary Ghanaian worker?yet you have been earning ex gratis ever since you became a parliamentary yet ordinary workers retire with nothing even when your party was in power.What did you do about it.If the management of Bank of Ghana is treating it's workers well ,please allow them.

Ken Dapaah

u did not see anything wrong with the seversl end of service benefit u took..

Hypocrite.u think u are better than BOG workers. Some parliamentarians who can not write simple sentences take over 350000 GHC as ec gratia every four years. Gifts Klehem , KWAME AHI and the man who said trees under schools take ex gratia which is funded by profits appropriated into the condidsted fund by BOG and u want BOG staff to go home after more than thirty years of work empty handed. It wont happen.
PARLIAMENTARIANS can fool some public workers staff but I don't think BOG staff will allow themselves yo be cheated.

Hm!
Don't be dissapointed if you just jumped to read this post due to the caption. You see, that's what your over dependence on certificates instead of skills can do. A well packaged Samsung or Lebanese, Nigerian or other nationals or company cellphones support office would send out adverts like this caption, and young people would rush in applications in millions. But some, in fact many in that group have the capacity to learn and set up a similar outlet, making multiples of that same amount they expect to be paid! Why?

1. There, the company would give him an identity tag for his role that may not be tagged "phone repairer". So he feels 'cool' working there even for 50k.
2. He conditions his expectations to a guaranteed price tag at the end of the month.
3. I don't just know ...really
