When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwesi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwesi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwesi Pratt can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Pratt and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratt's recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Pratt has the guts to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

Hey thank you Ghanaman.
Now, for all these years what has IMANI being doing in the country? It is so much shame that they have not commented on this worrying issue than when a sitting Gorvernment is about leaving the scene to an incoming one?
Do I, then say to Mr Frank Cudjoe that he and his colleagues has slept on their watch for so long? This, to me as a Financial Management person having worked both with Governments and Corporations over many years across the world is complete INEFFICIENCY and INCOMPETENCE.
This is so for the obvious fact and reason that in spite I have lived most of my life outside Ghana, I have written 2 highly comprehensive feature articles on ALLOWANCES IN GHANA. Considering that my father happens to be one of the BIG SIX. I feel very ashame that a country of Ghana which attained independence fron a colonial master some 60 YEARS should still maintain such unjustifiable allowances Civil Servants whilst the poor citizens suffer daily in their lives.
Yes,the payment of the following ALLOWANCES are NOT JUSTIFIABLE in Ghana simple: FREE PETROL,GUARDING BOY,COOK,FREE CAR, FREE HOUSES, TRAVEL,SECURITY, MEDICAL and so on and on. The big question I have for the Blackman is. What is wrong with their THINKING? 60 YEARS? And yet the country leaders both past and present still think they are being ruled by the BRITISH?
In my previous artcles, I suggested that some of these PERKS MUST be abolished. If anything, the necessary ones must be consolidated into their salaries.
The fact remains that NONE of the above mentioned perks are paid in all the DEVELOPED COUNTRIES. WHY MUST the State provide free HOUSES for past Presidents, Ministers or some Parliamentarians? Has any body in Ghana hear of American Presidents, British Premiers being provided with FREE HOUSES? Certainly NO, yet Africans Leaders always and very well clamour for such favours. This IS FOOLISHNESS of the highest order. These past Leaders in the DEVELOPED COUNTRIES are never given FREE CARS and FREE PETROL.
Why cannot African Leaders THINK PROPERLY and NATURELY to help their continent move forward? The World is in the 21st Century, yet all that the Blackman thinks is aacquiring WEALTH for himself and family only.
Other writers have said it is only Parliament that can change the LAW. So, may I take that IMANI must now roll the BALL into their court and start vigorous campangne of the nusance or worrying issue of UNNECESSARY ALLOWANCES for every Tom, Dick and Harry in Ghana.
So Mr Franline Cudjoe over to you.

I know a lady who worked in the Civil Service for about thirty five (35) years and retired last year 2015 as a Senior Typist and her monthly salary was less than Five hundred (500) Ghana cedis. I have always wondered who were the real beneficiaries of the increases in the wage bill as a result of the implementation of the single spine policy which threw govt expenditure out of balance. It looks like the whole thing went to only a few officials. What IMANI is saying about the organization of useless conferences, meetings and seminars just because of allowances by Directors and heads in the Civil Service is more than true. The Article 71 office holders, including MPS are actually all defrauding the Ghanaian tax payers by way of approving these astronomical salaries etc for themselves. No wonder everybody wants some of whom can barely speak English or read all want to become MPs. The ordinary Ghanaian will queue from dawn to dusk to vote for them only for them to dupe them with senseless salaries and allowances. Very soon they will not get anybody to vote for them except themselves and family!!!!!

Let us start with cutting out or the unnecessary and fancy, all-expenses-paid 4-wheel vehicle government officials are driving for their private use most of the time. The Presidential motorcade is too long in fact much longer than that of the American President, the British Prime Minister, the German Chancellor etc. All government houses and flats should be sold and officials have to find their own accommodation like every one else since they are not doing Ghanaians a favor by working for the government and some of them stealing state funds. Extra-gratia payments to state officials should stop since they receive salaries. Strict penalties including long-term imprisonment should be imposed on officials who steal from the state directly or pad government contracts for their personal benefits. We have enough of corruption in Ghana and that must stop and stop now.

WILL THIS HAPPEN IN GHANA?
__________
The Coming Exodus of Career Civil Servants
Research shows many professional staffers leave when a new president takes power—especially one with whom they don’t agree.
Joshua Roberts / Reuters
ANDREW MCGILL DEC 28, 2016
Now that Draining The Swamp is back on the agenda—and it definitely is, Donald Trump says—folks who labor in the myriad federal buildings dotting Washington are probably thinking about their options. How will Trump approach the federal government’s 2.5 million federal employees, or the 7,000-odd senior managers who assist political appointees? Will they even want to stay?
Signs point to an exodus. A study published earlier this month suggests that senior civil servants leave in droves during the first year of a new administration. They’re especially likely to quit when the incoming president’s politics are counter to the agency’s own ideological leanings.
And when these leaders leave, they take their experience and connections with them, leaving federal departments worse off.
“The government is a bundle of expertise,” said John de Figueiredo, a professor of law, strategy, and economics at Duke University, who co-authored the study. “When you lose these people who are very senior, we think that could potentially have a detrimental effect on governmental performance.”
The idea that agencies even have ideological leanings might raise a few eyebrows. They’re supposed to be apolitical, after all. And the paper’s logic presumes that most employees would fall in line with their agencies’ reputations. But data collected through years of surveys indicate government departments do have political preferences, and the study’s authors say there’s strong evidence linking those preferences to the departure of senior managers under unfriendly administrations.
To prove their point, researchers cracked open a massive employee database from the Office of Personnel Management, spanning 23 years and millions of workers. Electing a new president had almost no effect on the rank-and-file members of government, they found. Instead, most of the departures came from the Senior Executive Service, the elite cadre of managers who are often the primary layer between the appointees the president picks and the rest of the federal workforce.
Formed in 1978, the SES was designed to ensure continuity between administrations, an squad of generalists who could jump into a department and make it better. As my colleague Nora Kelly reported earlier this year, it hasn’t quite lived up to that promise; its leaders tend to get siloed within single agencies. But getting into the SES is quite competitive; as de Figueiredo puts it, the folks are undeniably “high performers.”
How could this play out under a Trump administration? Well, the president-elect has already nominated a climate-change denier to head the Environmental Protection Agency, and he wants to hand control of the Department of Energy to a man who’d prefer to abolish it. Plus, he’s a Republican. The study’s model would suggest a spike in departures from liberal-leaning agencies, including the EPA, the Department of Education, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
On the other end, the model expects to see more stable employment at more conservative branches, including the military. Indeed, Trump was endorsed by unions representing both agents in both the Border Patrol and Immigration, Customs and Enforcement, whose ranks will almost certainly swell if the president-elect gets his way.
Can the loss of experienced managers be prevented? “Some presidents who enter office have tended to be skeptical and suspicious of career employees,” said the study’s co-author, Alexander Bolton, a political science professor at Emory University. “But management strategies and the inclusion of career employees might help mitigate this mistrust.” Civil-service employees fear being ignored, just as much as presidents fear being undermined.
Given Trump’s adversarial stance toward government, Washington will likely see turnover. What this means for the long term isn’t clear. The machinery of government has always chugged along, even amid the most dramatic transfers of power. But as the president installs his own people at the top, and skeptical bureaucrats who report to them depart, the agencies begin to look more like him.
For conservatives, that might be a boon—a way to remake government along more congenial lines. But it could also be an impediment to a president with an ambitious agenda, thinning out the ranks of professionals who possess the knowledge necessary to navigate a complicated bureaucracy and implement policies swiftly and effectively. It’s hard to push through policies over the active resistance of the people charged with implementing them, but it can be just as hard to implement them without experienced managers capable of putting plans into action.
So tell your Nana Addo to stop those allowances when he takes over. You think governance is a walk in the park. Good luck.
