There are over 75,000 ghost names on Government of Ghana Payroll. In addition, there are over 10,000 names of people on payroll who are not qualified qualified to receive monthly salaries since majority of them are over 60 years and have found their names on NADMO and GES payrolls. The NPP must expunge these names to clean the payroll.

President Nana Akufo-Addo delivered a speech of hope as he took the oath of office ---- Here are 11 powerful quotes from that speech. ******** ********* ****** ****** 1. I will protect the public purse. We will provide vision and direction. 2. I ask you to be citizens, not spectators:; citizens, not subjects. 3. It is time to make sure that there is a true separation of powers in our arms of government. 4. I will not let you, the people of Ghana, down. 5. The change we have voted for has to start with each individual. I ask you to be responsible citizens. 6. It is time to define what being a Ghanaian ought to mean. Being a Ghanaian must mean you sign up to a definable code of conduct. 7. I shall protect the public purse by insisting on value for money in all transactions. 8. I see exciting times ahead, the rule of law will be the underlining tenet of our governance. 9. We should learn and accept that we do not own the land, but hold in trust for future generations. 10. State coffers are not the spoils for victorious political parties. I promise to protect the public purse. 11. After 60 years of independence, we no longer have any excuse for being poor.

Nana didn't say all that good speech. The speech was writing by someone. He was just reading for the ceremony. He had no clue what's he's saying.

BUT NUN LET THEM GO AHEAD, AFTER RESTORING ALLOWANCE, THEY CAN CUT TAXES, LOWER ELECTRICITY, WATER, PROVIDE THE FREE EDUCATION FOR SHS, PUT IN PLACE THE $1 MILLION FOR EACH CONSTITUENCY, AND BUILD ONE DAM ONE VILLAGE, OOH AND ONE DISTRICT ONE FACTORY. GOD HAS BEEN VERY VERY GOOD TO GHANAIANS, HE WANTS US TO LEARN AFTER ALMOST 60 YEARS OF GHANA'S EXISTENCE!

You're sick from you head to toe. My second born is in his first year at college in UK and receives 3,000 pounds as learning bonus. Though is 3 years programme you will be giving the bulk amount as soon as u enter college. My first born is at Greenwich university also in UK and has being receiving lots and lots of allowances apart from students loan to pay for her fees.

All those state money people have being looting can easily pay out all this young professionals is a way of motivating them to learn or to like the course they are purchasing.

Ghana can make more than that if they stop ; let's loot to shear

I thinks things gesture will cause further financial burden to the state henceforth we need a total overhaul of this scheme,I don't understand why they should pay someone whose job is guarateed after completion of his course instead that money could be used to generate employment avenue to numerous university and polythecnic students who after completion of their courses leaves their fate to chances n favours.Is a time the politicians call a spade a spade and scrap these unnecessary allowances for the betterment for all.what is good for the goose is also good for the gander..universities and polytrlechnics also deserve same treatment should the status cost of paying allowances remains unchanged

Thank God Mahama took the bitter but prudent decision to scrape this allowance. It doesn't make economic sense at all. Why shd u be fed 3x daily, free accommodation and then get allowance again to study for a job that is readily available? Why shd university students apply for loans to finance their education while others get freebies? Meanwhile, the best students go to the universities to face these hardships while the average ones are rewarded with these freebies. Mediocrity at its best. Ghana can never go forward.

It appears as if african leaders are incapable of taking the right decisions which will solve their countries economic problems.They are only interested in power and how to hold onto it for years.The reintroduction of the allowances for nurses and teachers by the government is a typical example.University students pay fees and are not given free allowances.Nurses and teachers do not pay fees and they get free allowances.University students access loans to pay their fees,nurses and teachers do not.This does not make sense and the government should stop playing to the gallery.Nurses and teachers should pay fees and should not be entitled to free allowances.They should access loans as varsity students do.The nation's money should be used to make life easier for all ghanaians and not for just a few.We should stop pursuing the colonial era policies which are not relevant to the nation's present economic situation.

I have questions about Bawumiah's lack for fiscal discipline.

Mahama explained that there far more nurses to fill existing hospitals. So, a temporary embargo was put in place while he(Mahama) focused on speeding up the completion of hospitals in order to hire the nurses. Instead doing proper and honest analysis, you insulted him.

Nurses have free education in addition to allowance. Is that sustainable?
