SOURCE: CLASSFMONLINE ------ The Government of Ghana is reviewing the debts incurred by the John Mahama administration to find out whether the loans were used for the purposes of which they were contracted, Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Marfo, has revealed. After the review of the debt situation, the findings will be made public to enable the Ghanaian people realise how their moneys were spent by the previous administration, Mr Marfo added. It is recalled that during the electioneering season the then main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) accused the Mahama government of excessive borrowing but with little to show for, an assertion the then governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) rubbished because they thought they had embarked on several infrastructural projects with those loans. Mr Marfo speaking during the National Policy Summit on Tuesday May 16 said revealed that the new government is investigating all the debts left behind by Mr Mahama. “We are working on the numbers, the ministry of finance gives us the bulk numbers. But they do not all emanate from one source, we have some sitting in energy, some sitting in SSNIT and we are examining all. As a government and we are doing it gradually and slowly because we must be accurate. “We want to be sure that whatever comes out finally is accurate. The government owes it as a duty to keep the nation informed about these debts and what it was used for.”

“Interestingly, President Akufo-Addo, appears to be responding to the concerns by being frank with the many, including agitating worker unions in the country by simply admitting that his government is cash-strapped. But as usual, he laid blame for his administration’s inability to settle arrears of many worker unions at the feet of the erstwhile Mahama government.”

The Abundantly Natural Resources Rich Ghana as touted by this Akufo-Addict's government during their campaign for the apex office can't even source for money to pay workers as well as ex-gratia under their so-called competence administration, huh?

THE PAIN OF THE PRIVATE PHYSICIAN ASSIS.
Is worth pursuing PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT (popularly called PA) in a private school in Ghana? You will say BIG NO if you know what they go through in Ghana. The PA is a graduate of any recognised and accepted institution (being PRIVATE or GOVERNMENT) in Ghana. Mostly PA has to pass the Medical and Dental Council (MDC ) Exams, be given the TEMPORARY LICENCE for INTERNSHIP, before being given the PERMANENT LICENCE for active practice and yearly renewals. PA is just like a Dr, in fact some most are too good that it's at times difficult to distinguish between the 2. Most PA are the succes the county's community health. The essence of the private institutions include supporting the education in Ghana especially when government facilities cannot accommodate all students from SHS. Previously there's the perception that only those with ''bad grades'' or the rich attend private schools, however your can now find PROFESSIONALS from other field of practice or low income earner being supported in the private schools because of their desire or demand by the country's medical challenges Please allow me to break down some costs the PA bear before getting into active practice 1) SCHOOL FESS (3-4 years)- now GHC 30,000- 50,000 2) MDC SITTING EXAMS - GHC 740 3) MDC TEMPORARY LICENCE ( for posting by MOH for your internship , equivalent to service or temporary employment in Ghana) - GHC 700 3) MDC LICENSE EXTENSION (whether posting was delayed by MOH or you, you pay a penalty for extension for maximum of 6 months)- GHC 50 4) MDC PERMANENT license - GHC 530 So you'll now bear with me that MDC alone takes over GHC 2,000 before you can practice fully in Ghana Apart from the the different LOW FEES + GOVERNMENT SCHOOL ALLOWANCE (BOND) a PA from government institution bear or gain as all PA pay the MDC charges too, and IS POSTED BY MOH ( MINISTRY OF HEALTH) WITH SIMILAR RESPONSIBILITIES AND INTO SIMILAR INSTITUTIONS Interestingly however the PA FROM PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS IS DEPRIVED OF ANY RENUMERATION- simply NO ALLOWANCE OVER THE 1 FULL YEAR DUTIES. Information getting to me indicate that the government pays the PA from the government institutions who are also doing the 1 internship close to GHC 1,000 PER MONTH- once again NOTHING FOR THE PRIVATE GRADUATED PA WITH SIMILAR CERTIFICATE BY MDC, POSTED WITH SIMILAR RESPONSIBILITY BY MOH-MDC Some reasons reaching me for such heartless and wicked painful treatments by MOH - WHICH IS ALSO AGAINST THE LABOUR ACT include 1) the government graduated PA was bonded while in school 2) the private graduated PA are working in government institutions but didn't attend government schools, etc Such reasons have NO STAND!!!! In recent times there's been the rise of different PA groups, some registered, all with aim to fight for their rights- GPAA, GRAPAG, PAG, etc However the question is must people always form coalitions against a government before they're hear or treated with respect? Ghana never learn. In a way for government to cheat the private PA government has placed them on National Service Scheme( NSS) to give them NSS allowance instead of their DUE INTERNSHIP ALLOWANCES. This act was done to medical doctors and they , up to dates, rejected it and as such are payed full internship allowances. So not that MOH-MDC didn't know the right thing to do but would want to breach the Labour Act and take advantage of the private graduated PA. Several attempts since 3 years back to give due allowances to the private PA has failed. There are a lot of smelling cans to open on these PA FROM PRIVATE SCHOOLS but will hold on for now However tell respond truthfully to these questions after learning these fact, knowing also that after you get permanent license you don't automatically get employed by the government: 1) Based on the above, IS IT WORTH to pursue PA in a private school in Ghana? 2) 2 different groups in Ghana , with similar MDC certificate, posted by similar MOH for similar duties but DIFFERENT ALLOWANCES GHC 1000- GOVERNMENT PA GHC. NIL - PRIVATE PA Dr. K. Nkrumah - people rise to chaos not because they want to but because ...... Thank you!!!! NB: THIS IS NOT POLITICS AGAINST ANY PARTY BUT INVOLVES THE 2 LAST GOVERNMENT

My brother, I do not know which economics book you read to come up with this jaundiced defense of something indefensible. If your reasoning is anything to go by, where is the government expected to get the money from to pay all these ministers, their deputies who sometimes are two and three, and pay all other perks due them, if the government is aware that the kitty is empty? We have to cut our coat according to the size of our cloth, and we certainly cannot live on borrowed robes. You said the past government emptied the kitty, and instead of operating with a lean budget, you opt for a bloated one. Which textbook tells you that in times of hardship, you creat more hardship to solve the hardship?

Ghana, we are doomed, if this is the way we reason in this country.

The farmer is more important than many of the high office holders. Ghana will continue to retrogress until the national cake is shared equal to the last civilian of Ghana. Fuck!!!!.

I don't think the currently president should be blaming the formal president again. Before u get into power u knew the state of the economy, u vowed to put things in place, U openly said there was money in Ghana. The ex president told u; u have never been a president before so u don't know what was going on and u were like he is incompetent now u are in the shoes. Things were that bad and yet he was doing his best to pay workers, Mr. President also try ur best and do same. U wanted to change Ghana now Ghana is in ya hands do it and please stop complaining u knew they were spending the money now u don't spend so use that money they were getting to spend and fix up Ghana. If u are not able to get money it means there was no money for them to also spend.... deal with it Mr change

The president knew the country was in a shambles. That is why he run for the presidency in order to fix the economy. He should stop blaming others and go to work. How can he fulfill his one district one factory promise if he is unable to pay salaries and other obligations ? Wait and see. This country is cursed.

This is what happens if you only go to school to become a Burden on the National coffers . Do you people know how to earn money at all. What do You add to the coffers of the country.? All the loans contractedcontracted in the Name of the Country Ghana are spent lavishly by just a few bunch of people. There is nothing like Investing in anything sustainable to add anything to the National Treasury or even to pay back the loans.The famers who bear the created part of the Burden continue to live in poverty whiles you appoint yourselves to positions and pay yourselves huge sums of monies including exgratias whiles most of our people remain in poverty.You want to build a Ghana without loans and handouts from the west so go ahead. Actually the west has to stop giving us money because we cannot invest wisely to sustain us.

In 2013, as soon as looter Mahama was sworn in, he, together with the most reckless and irresponsible thieves of Ghana increased and back-dated their emoluments and raided the national purse with utmost glee whilst baring the 4 dozen teeth in their mouths....
To borrow the phrase of their Founder, that is when the rot started. I said stealing, stealing, stealing, it was akin to the spilling of the Bagri Dam on the stealing and thievery front.
It wasn't long after that, and the looter in Chief came to tell us the meat was gone.... The rest they say is history.
They are here talking about ex-gratia isn't it. Good.
We hear they intend to bring this same looter again in 2020 when they have collapsed the NHIS, ECG is in arrears, Contractors have not paid for the bloated contracts, his friends and family have turned Ghana's ports into their private landing beaches causing the state to loss huge sums of money that could have addressed some of these things listed above.
They should bring him, we are waiting. I said, they should bring him in 2020!!!.

The first thing Pepsodent (I give him this moniker because he has been a joke despite 3 terms) Akufo-Addo did when he came to power in 2016, is increase the ministerial burden on the state to 120; corruptly accept increased pay/exgratia from the corrupt NDC administration; thief from the national treasury GHC billions to buy cars, houses, etc for his cabinet costing GHC billions etc.

Why does he "suddenly" admit Ghana has acute "financial crisis," when both his NPP party and NDC so corruptly, incompetently and recklessly, share state wealth: money, houses, lands, 4x4s/SUVs, etc among themselves as if there's no tomorrow?

Whose economic plan runs Ghana under him? Was it NPP's, NDC's, or imposed by western states (the W. bank/IMF-SAP)?

Is "the Blackman capable of running his[her] own affairs" as Nkrumah insisted on Independence Day, 6th March 1966?

Most sustainable solutions: a new Constitution rooted to Nkrumah/CPP's refurbished science/technology-led, agro-manufacturing export-led 7 Socialist state 7 Year Development Plan; a one-party, self-reliant, socialist, people-centred government unionising all political groups; mobilisation of all Ghanaians into full time employment to implement the economic plan. And hard exportable work!

All the NPP's pretences to being "capitalist" is a joke. What single home-grown manufacturing enterprise - beside Safo Kantaka Auto Industries - has it encouraged to develop through banking, Design/research funding, capital equipment funding, customs and export subventions to date?

Are they not still dissembling Nkrumah/CPP's socialist industries and service sector? Did they not sell Ghana Telecom, our oil to their cronies? Are they not trying to complete the NDC's unfinished business to sell off ECG, Ghana Water, etc? What single "capitalist" innovation, beside "Akow tse brofo" speech making, can Akufo-Addo cough out?

Revolutionary regards.

The so called AHA must know that these ministers have been hired to work efficiently to seal all the loopholes leading to stealing by high officials.You must also know that the NDC led by Mahama have looted all funds in government coffers prior to their exit from the Flag staff house.Are you these NDC supporters not ashamed of your stealing spree and making the country broke before your loss in the last general elections.The Soldiers must mount a big arrest of all these people plus their Leader ex President Hamidu Mahama and court mashall them to cough out all the stollen money from the Bank of Ghana.

Honestly, we do not need more than 20 ministers in Ghana. The only reason to create 120 ministers is jobs for them in our warped party politics. Take awat that and the blinkers will be off our vision.
If we are broke, we do not add to it by inreasing our out-goings. We decrease it. Basic common sense.

They keep lying to us! Kuffour said J.J stole all the money, Atta Mills said Koffour chew all the meats and it was left with bones, Mahama said there was no money in the coffers and now Nana Addo the president is saying Mahama stole all the money. Now who is telling us the truth? I don't think anyone can tell me its Nana Addo because he will one day go away and somebody will come and tell us Nana Addo stole all the money. My question is, are we to trust politicians in Ghana? They're all the same!!! God will judge.
