  Accra is the national capital. Workers at the various ministries live in Accra with their families. The government of Ghana in order to achieve its objectives has been holding a series of workshops in batches, sometimes lasting for more than a month, for officials from all districts of Ghana. A disturbing trend has been noticed. All these workshops are being held in the Ashanti Regional capital.
  
  This is disturbing for 2 reasons. Firstly because the capital is Accra the government officials have their homes in Accra and not the Ashanti Regional capital. The government therefore has been paying hotel bills for these government officials to stay in the Ashanti Regional capital throughout the duration of the workshops. If the workshops were held in Accra there would be no need for money for their accommodation. The additional expense is so enormous that it could have been used to contruct schools and clinics in many needy communities across the country.
  
  Secondly this is leading to strained family relations as government officials are spending more and more months in a year away from their families who live in Accra.
  
  The President, Parliament, Journalists and the political parties must ensure that all such workshops are held in Accra.

  This so-called "EX-GRATIA" to parliamentarians is in the first place questionable. Now someone is spreading it to local levels. EEEii, from where comes this cunning idea? Don't we know that with money, we should construct buildings for schools, upgrade our clinics and hospitals. Don't we remember that we need places of convenience in our towns? Is this what we call GOVERNANCE? this is day light looting. GOD, SAVE OUR COUNTRY!!!

  This is a good idea. But it must not be % of revenue generated. It should be based on monthly allowance and length of work.
