  The Army really needs a Bank to enhance the finacila welfare of needy soldiers. Yes, soldiers must defend us; but they must also have easy means of taking loans to support their children's education. BOG, even if the Army hasn't notified you, take the initiative to facilitate the opening of an Army Bank!!!

  President Slashes Executive Freebies…. As Wages & Salaries Hit GHC7.5bn
  
  
  
  The biggest fiscal challenge facing Ghana currently has to do with misalignment of the expenditure categories in the budget namely, emoluments (i.e., wages, salaries and allowances), goods and services (including debt service), and investment or capital expenditure.
  
  Personnel emoluments portion of the Budget, President Mahama noted, had tripled in the last three years, from GH¢2.5 billion to GH¢7.5 billion. This, according to him, has been mainly due to the Single Spine Salary Scheme (SSSS).
  
  “We now spend a staggering 60.9 percent of our entire national revenue to pay public sector salaries. This is almost double the globally accepted prudent level of between 30 to 35 percent,” the President lamented.
