  When reading comments from both the doctors front and the govt front, one would easily be misled to think that it is rather the doctors who are the govt.
  
  Look at how even this junior doctor diplomatically articulates their case. Compare it to Mahama's confrontational, impulsive and adolescent outburst on the issue the other day.
  
  As I have continued to say, the earlier govt settles down to think properly and to present a more agreeable and amenable gesture to resolve this matter, the better it will be for them and the entire population of Ghana. It is their voters who are at the receiving end of the doctors strike action and no matter how bigoted a man is, the pains of an unmanaged illness will cure him of his folly.
  
  Up to now, govt and its petty-minded functionaries are behaving like an intransigent wayward husband in a marriage dispute. It will not work.
  
  Without mincing words, the doctors demands are justified, whichever dispassionate way that one looks at it. For starters, it is criminal to keep people in employment for an indefinite period of time without the necessary conditions of service. And instead of being apologetic about this, govt has rather sought to go on the offensive to brazenly demean the justified demands of the doctors.
  
  When at the end of the day the doctors eventually redress this anomaly, it will serve as a benchmark to all future govts not to mess about with its employees and take them for granted.
  
  I am however saddened by the revelation that Brig Nunoo-Mensah has a surgeon son who has abdicated from his national responsibilities and is practicing abroad. Apart from this, I can well imagine the embarrassment and stress that a well educated son such as this one will suffer from the delinquent behaviour of a father who consistently presents himself as a public jester - a trend which has now earned the family name a considerable amount of public ridicule. In retrospect I can understand why the son has created a wide berth between himself and the father. What sensible son, wouldnt?

  What you are saying makes no sense. Brig. Nunoo Mensah once said if the kitchen is too hot for you leave! And his son thinks the kitchen is too hot and left without causing trouble like your doctors are doing.
