This excuse from GAB is lame, designating banks as essential service providers does not exempt them from participating in communal labour, rather it forbids them from engaging in strike action unless through a formal laid down agreement/procedure.

Kwesi Barimpa, you are rather ignorant about the above subject. Do you know that all the security services who took part in the cleanup exercise are essential service providers? GAB was referring to exemptions given to the banks with regards to movement during the Covid period and not exemptions from taking part in clean up exercise.

The excuse is really very lame. The MP was absolutely right. Why would bankers think that they are exempt from such an important task to clean up their surroundings after the floods? Didn't the floods affect some of them? They should set good examples for people to follow. Why should it always be the ordinary man and woman and not white colour job people?

Don't be naive, even at all, the minister never said the bank should close. Besides I read that GAB said the bank participated in the exercise, which was clearly false because we saw in the video circulating when the minister took the manager of the bank outside it's premisses right at their entrance pointing out work not done. So what are you saying. Let's be truthful to ourselves, the minister was right and she did well in her confrontation.

Have you never seen nurses partake in communal labour before? You should tell the truth so you don't present yourself for public ridicules. The whole idea is for all hands to be on board for this equally all important exercise. It was very necessary and so lending a view hands won't hurt a fly.we are all involved.

There's no justification for forcing businesses to stay closed during a national clean up day unless the government can demonstrate that being open for business during the clean up poses an impediment to the clean up exercise. If you so bullish about a national clean up operation, why not channel the same energy towards the galamsey fight?

The minister was right in shaming them and getting them to get out of their butts. What kind of excuse is this that the GBA is making? Does the designation excuse them from cleaning their environment for one day or two? This is the very elitist attidtude that is making it imposible for any meaningful change to occur in Ghana. Far from a condemnation, the journalist should have taken time to interrogate this rather shameful statement. The minister, as a member of parliament also does essential job but why was she there?

Pharmacy shops in the Central Region were closed down as well. I was hoping the mother of the MP who ordered this would have a critical emergency requiring medicines that he could then not get because the pharmacies were closed. Sometimes common sense on essential services needs to prevail.

Sadly we equally have a lawless and dictatorial government simply bellows instructions without due consideration. How practical is it for bank workers to descend into gutters and clean without the requisite protective gear, finish and go back to their banking duties. No wonder the Vice President herself didn’t wear gloves. Who provided her with the wellington boots she wore. If the state did why should others clean without the appropriate pope? Our government should be thoughtful about its directives.
