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...

This is what I call government of the people,by the people and for the people.Just a few months ago I saw a footage online of an Asian country's Prime Minister(I think it was japan or S.Korea)admit to a mistake and humbly bow in remorse to seek forgiveness from his people.I was astonished.At that time I would have settled for my NDC politician to admit that things could be better instead of meeting any criticism or suggestion with a barrage of insults.Ghana now has a government which not only encourages input from citizens but accept criticism and even insults with grace and maturity.Now they have gone even further by admitting mistakes and apologising for it?What next?Are they going to start listening to the people and work to put in place policies that benifit all Ghanaians not just people in Accra and the leaders's hometown?If I am dreaming,please don't wake me up.

If competence is by deleting people names without proper checking and coming our to merely say sorry then my old grandmother in the village can also be a finance minister. They say they are the most competent but see the mess they are creating. No wonder Nana said "try me too". I blame Ghanaians for falling into this trap, the man Nana himself admitted he knew nothing and was asking for Ghanaians to try him, how we risk Ghana into this man hands?

The government is only trying to protect the public purse.
Those who will be insulting the Minister,are those who wanted the status quo to remain,so they can fleece the public purse.But Ghana is moving forward.

The minister deserves a lot of respect for admitting mistakes but the unions must work for both for the state and it's members by working closely with the government to ensure all genuine employees are registered

This NPP government of substandard ministers cannot just stop confirming their inefficiency. Deleting names of genuine Ghanaian workers and declaring them as ghost, thus denying them months of salaries was trumpeted as an achievement; with both the President and his vice displaying crass incompetency by declaring they have saved the nation millions in cedis. After the harm had been done and the poor innocent workers vilified and denied money to care for their families, we have the corrupt Finance Minister coming out with a lame excuse to apologise. Change indeed has come. What's the crime of Ghanaians to be burdened with this thieving, substandard, goat and kokonte bribe accepting government?

Most of the actions of this government is solely to condemn the NDC as the only corrupt party in Ghana and to paint the NPP as the holiest party. You were the same people who informed the public that several ghost names were removed from government payroll hence protecting public purse. This made it as if the JM government created those names just to loot the state so that the NDC will be washed way from the mind of its supporters for you to win in subsequent elections. Why can't you wait till every government worker get registered before you announce issue of ghost name by just blocking their salaries? You people are making politics to be a dirty game. Your credibility is at stake. Why will people mind you when the actual truth comes out?

A reasonable person should understand that this people are also thieves. Irrespective of our political support, lets all say that thieves are in every political party in Ghana including the NPP. The NPP is only pretending to be good now but lets Wait and see. The time will soon come for us all to see the real thieves. They are for now sheep nut soon they will change. They only want to dent the name and image of the NDC as if NDC cannot correct its past mistakes and be attractive to Ghanaians. Shame to them. Am saying these because they do not want to relax, get faacts before criticising the previous government for creating huge ghost names.

In fact i was suprised when the gov. came out with this issue. These workers are validated every month by the head of entity. If there is any gost name in your payroll the first thing one would hv expect to see done is to take these heads on for validating people who are nonexisting. I see this as playing politics with workers lives. This must stop.

Stupid Minister. You were told those deleted where not ghosts but went ahead to do just to score political points. Over 26,000 ghost names my foot. There you are after causing so much pain to genuinely employed people. You are apologizing for what? You know too much, is that not the case? Well Ghanaians are reaping what they have sown. You say you wanted the evil dwarf, now you have him. This is crass inefficiency and insensitivity on the part of the Minister. He should resign

Will it take care of their health needs?
We told we will receiving our salaries today and not apologies.

Mr. finance minister you promised to pay this people by 15th may,2017.
my question is, have you paid them as promised or you want to play on their intelligence by apologising just because you have not been able honour them as promised and thus why you re apologizing?
this make you and your government liars and deceivers as I have always stated. you have overburdened the budget with your attragious miniaterial appointments and wants to use geniue Ghanaian worker pay to pay your ministers.
why didn't you do due deligence before deleting geniue Ghanaian workers names. that makes you the most incompetent govt. why do you have to inflict on the rights of innocent Ghanaian workers who deserves to be paid and just come out to apologise and also failing to pay them as promised. Mr minister haven't you taken your salary and allowances for last month? then why didn't you sacrifice to wait till all of us are paid to prove to all of us that you sympathise with us. ye that wants to dine with the king must come with clean hands.

Mr. Minister, a poor civil servant taking GH¢500.00 as monthly salary is considered a burden on the economy but the so called CEO's taking GH89,000.00 each as monthly salary is not a burden on the economy. This is the situation where you see civil servants dying immediately they go on retirement after over 30 years of work. Politicians spend just four years in office with much work being done by civil servants but at the end of the four years the go home with Four Billion old Ghana cedis each in the name of ex- gratia where as civil servants go home after over 30 years service with a paltry sum of less than 200 Million old Ghana Cedis. What kind of country are we living in. This is what is breeding corruption in the system and the earlier the Government finds solution to it the better.
