Stop that tribal crap. Let our government be functional. Now you are not paid allowances and are going on strike? What about teachers and nurses who are not even paid their salaries for months? And Amissah had the effrontery to talk about Teacher Absenteeism. Does the army march on an empty stomach? Where is my nephew David Ansah, and K. Boateng? Just checking on them.

Too much tax-free allowances for no justification. Even chiefs benefit from this and they use the allowances to litigate and cause all sorts of problems

It is a fact that the AG staff are very corrupt. And who is more corrupt than you Ashantis? So where is all the corruption money which teachers, nurses, etc., don't get?

Do you realize why many are not responding to you? Do you understand the word "corrupt"? You may disagree morally on their decision to embark on strike but it is legally right for any employee to demand their due. If paying those allowances are wrong then we should argue for them to scrap it instead of insulting the beneficiaries.

Let's stop these useless and nonsensical tribal provocations because we are all guilty (if not worse) of what we accuse others.

They shd exercise some patiece because the IMF loan facility is fast coming and all may be defrayed. Remember that the loan is for "consumption" nothing else.

Spoiled brats, you get paid for clothing allowances. This was colonial mentality that the colonial masters instituted to rip you off. Why the hell do you still continue this colonial practice. Your salary should clothe you, nothing more or less. Do you clothe teachers, doctors etc etc. Just work and shut up.

Well you really don't know what you are talking about. Before you point fingers tell your government to fix this problem in general. AG in Accra received their allowances so I wasn't surprised to hear this strike. If the government wants to cancel it then he should cancel across all regions to prevent others form demonstrating.

The country has clearly collapsed. Organized labour is also gearing up for a massive demonstration against the reckless increases in utility tariffs when crude oil prices to power energy generation is all going down and per the NDC gov't too, the cedi ahs started to appreciate against the major trading currencies. Meanwhile, looting and thievery under the Mahama NDC gov't is the order of the day, to the point that, it has crossed the tipping point according to the CJ, symptoms of a banana republic under the Mahama NDC gov't.

That his administration is really serious about building a " New World Order" in this nation,by having a Special Task Force and the BNI scrutinize the activities of all the officials of the AG`s outfit across the country; beginning with a critical examination all the dossiers pertaining to some of these 'strange' judgement debt cases,with a view to unraveling what has turned this dept into the weakest link in the entire governance structure in this country! The revelations would make the 'discoveries' made thus far at the NSS,look like child`s play[more like a game of marbles["Nt3"]! Who can forget the huge awards this particular office saddled the military, of all state establishments with,only a decade ago,by orchestrating huge awards and payments to some duboius Chiefs posing as bona fide owners of that large tract of land situated just behind Prempeh College!
The time has also come for the incumbent AG, to think outside the box,and to demonstrate some toughness,by giving these corrupt and lazy officials in the Ashanti Region the BOOT,and replacing them with Pupils or Interns from the Law School and various law faculties, who will work under the tutelage of experienced senior lawyers,many of whom are Adjunct Professors or Lecturers anyway!
Personally, I see nothing wrong with using these young people,who are energetic and very eager to work,a' baptism by fire' of sorts. They`ll all be better for it!
At we can be assured that they`ll always put in an appearance in court every time;and really the results would not be markedly different from what we are experiencing with these over-paid 'deadwood'! The govt should also seriously consider revamping the Tribunal Structures,to cut through some of the 'nonsense'[endless and frivolous motions] we see in our formal courts,creating unnecessary delays,and thus undermining the whole justice system in this country!

Any strike in Ghana always start from Kumasi, why? Lawyers in that region always take the government to ransom just as the Black Stars did to the nation

So every lawyer , judge, prosecutor or anyone of those in the judiciary working in Kumasi or in the Ashanti region is an Ashanti. I never knew that. This Ashanti bashing will take you guys nowhere. It strengthens them
