  strike will not solve the problems of the TUC. The fundamentals of the Ghana economy is weakand coupled with unproductive civil and public servants. There should be a proper review of the way workers do their work in Ghana and there should be a staff assessment every year and sack those who are not doing well. some services must be privatized to ensure value for money.

  We all know the conspiracy to murder and kill Mills was engineered by the pepeni/ayigbe wicked anti Akan agenda and one of the triggers was the reestablishment of diplomatic relations with our brothers the Israelis . Now they wish us to make enemies with our natural allies in the west so we estranged with our diaspora . Why don't they go and organize a demo at the chief imam/terrorists house for after going to the Israeli embassy to beg for gifts and donations they received in good faith they chose to insult the Israelis . I wonder why this NDC mafia/Muslim group did not organize this demo during the Arab spring when they were killing our Akans in the tens of thousands all over . Why don't we see demos in front of the Libyan , Syrian , Morocco , Tunisia , Egypt and Saudi embassies ? why do they want to turn this country into another anti American / west fortress of stupidity. Did it ever cross their retarded minds that over half a million Akans live in Germany and over a million in the USA due the exodus caused by the wickedness and discrimination of the jj rawlings fake revolution? I will not mention the rest of the countries that accepted our people and gave them a chance to live comfortably yet they want to make propaganda war against these nations. Let them bus these fools to the embassy and i hope they have said their last goodbyes to their mothers as we will ambush them with our cutlasses and make sure they never go back home . we shall instruct our criminals and armed robbers to put their nefarious activities to good use and start targeting only ndc homes and their sympathizers . We shall make Ghana very unsafe for them as they have free accommodation , free food , free cars , free house boys and girls so can misbehave whenever they wake up. Americans despite some of their mischief with Monsanto and other foolishness are still our brothers and we will make sure all people who mean us well continue to feel welcome . Did it even cross the minds of these idiotic ndc that the person who wrote that tweet had every right since they were most likely half Akan and are disgusted by the careless irresponsible way the ndc are ruling ? did they not so long ago say they have a better agenda , action year, manifesto , no need for an all inclusive govt or tapping into the potentials of even the diaspora , no need for free education in the south too, no need to investigate the mysterious death of Mills , encouraging sodomy and homosexuality , govt still in first gear or now in reverse or completely stopped for lack of the fuel of ideas . In fact things are so bad that nobody sees anything but a bitter Ghana agenda , competent people with integrity refuse to participate in the mess of a govt or serve under and idiot of a pepeni president Mahama. Even our international partners shy away from having anything to do with this NDC as our problems are all about NDC POLITICS and their incorrigible rouge tribal fascism which further pushes our people to poverty . if you speak up and don't sing their hallelujah chorus of stupidity and hatred of the Akans you will be immediately be branded a drug baron , corrupt , arrogant , ashanti/akyem primitive ,madman , deranged , fool or idiot for pointing them in the right direction . how can there be a successful economic dialogue that will produce sustainable macroeconomics and plans based on the positive potentials of our people if all the major stakeholders including the diaspora are marginalized or excluded . if no one can dare to criticize the govt for fear of being victimized or persecuted by the ewes and northerners today ? The potential of the majority due to this tribal ndc politics is excluded from participating in anything so how do they expect the move things forward in reality have nothing to offer except corruption , hatred of the Akans and narrow mindedness? petition or not this govt is burdened by being illegitimate in the minds of all citizens ( as all still suspect election rigging and corruption of the judges ) so can never perform or have the true authority and support of the majority to produce a better future.one way or another they will be made to leave as their despicable acts have lead to all victims deeply despising them. God is with us and soon we shall have our day

  This strike is timely and relevant on the very date Mills departed. Even as we wish him a peaceful rest, it is equally worth noting that his government was the root cause of today's predicament. Aided by the now crookish Mahama the tax law expert Mills lied about the economy including his own health. He vehemently defended his minister for spending state resources on girlfriends. Mills denied outright his knowledge of the biggest payment in our history to one individual for zero work done. In his time, ordinary foot soldiers and party agents could fire and appoint government officials. The NHIS, School feeding, free maternal health care, mass coacoa spraying and mass transport begun to sharply decline and grounded to a complete halt. Mills look on while footsoldiers and government appointees share state funds among themselves. Now Mahama has come not to break the status quo but to worsen it. Let the demonstration be held in denouncement of Mills while his dear sole rests in perfect peace. We never wished him dead but to live and enjoy the value of his poor leadership.

  Why are Ghanaians always pointing fingers at the seated government for the corruption that has become the order of the day? All the various groups who go on strikes, are they not the very individuals in offices taking bribes, showing, nepotism when it comes to new employees?
  Some of these are the very people with poor attitude toward work; spend a week to complete a day’s work, misusing government’s time for their own benefit/gain? Individual Ghanaians, all of us should do our homework by assessing ourselves to see, if Ghana comes first before our pockets; no patriotism towards the good of the nation.
  Most Ghanaians are greedy, selfish, and lazy and have poor judgement or foresight. We have no respect for the hierarchy, poor management of our resources and time, poor attitude towards work.
  We are all guilty, and if any of these groups believe they are upright and can be found giving their best for the growth of Ghana in their various work places and their communities, they should be ‘the first to cast the stone’. It is a challenge I put before everyone.
  I’M NOT AGAINST people going on strike to demand what is rightfully theirs but corruption in Ghana WE ALL HAVE a ROLE TO PLAY.
  Thanks.

  Thanks very much, Bright Future. They will all, both organizers and participants will be hitting the streets on their appointed day with heavy conscience weighing heavily on them. If the leadership of Organized Labour had a minute percentage of those attributes mentioned here, Ghana would not be where we are today. Police should allow this insensitive demonstration to roll out. After they have had their day, Asamoah and his people should come out honestly to tell the nation what had been the tangible gain to the people the represent.
