  REFRESHING MEMORIES AND UPDATE NOTES IN VIEW OF THE AVOIDANCE OF ALL DOUBTS AND TO HELP REMOVE ANY RELATED CONTROVERSY, WHATSOEVER, THAT MY PERSONAL RELATED EXPERIENCE THAT I DULY AND HUMBLY SHARED YESTERDAY, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 2015 AND TO SUBSTITUTE THE WORD "SON FOR A CHILD" SINCE MY INTENTION WAS NOT MEANT TO DISCRIMINATE, WHATSOEVER, AGAINST "MOTHER,THE GIRL CHILD OR DAUGHTER" BUT I WAS SHARING MY OWN RELATED PERSONAL RELATED EXPERIENCE.
  THEREFORE IT IS MY RESPECTFUL AND HUMBLE APOLOGY TO THOSE WHO MAY OR MIGHT MISCONSTRUED MY PERSONAL STORY AS FOLLOWS:
  
  "
  IT IS THEREFORE AT THESE RELATED BACKDROPS THAT I WILL LIKE TO SHARE MY OWN RELATED PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WHEN I WAS IN FORM 2 AT KPEDZE SECONDARY SCHOOL AS FOLLOWS:
  " THAT THE SHORT AND GIST OF MY STORY WAS THAT WHEN I WAS IN FORM 2 AT KPEDZE SECONDARY SCHOOL THAT WE WERE REQUESTED TO GO FOR OUR SCHOOL FEES AND THAT UNTIL THE SCHOOL FEES WERE PAID IN FULL THAT THOSE STUDENTS WHO DID NOT PAY THEIR FEES IN FULL NOT TO RETURN TO THE SCHOOL. THAT I WENT TO MY LATE FATHER THEOPHILUS AMU KOMLA AMEKUDZI FOR THE SCHOOL FEES AND MY LATE FATHER EXPRESSED THE DESIRE TO PAY THE FEES AND THEREFORE WROTE A LETTER AND GAVE IT TO ME TO GIVE TO THE LATE HEADMASTER THAT HE WAS GOING TO PAY THE SCHOOL FEES AT THE END OF THE MONTH AND THEREFORE THE LATE HEADMASTER TO CONSIDER ME TO BE ATTENDING THE SCHOOL TILL THE END OF THE MONTH. THAT SURPRISINGLY, WHEN I GAVE THE LETTER TO THE LATE HEADMASTER, HE NEVER EVEN OPENED THE LETTER TO READ AND TO KNOW THE CONTENTS BUT TEARED THE LETTER AND THE ENVELOPE IN MY PRESENCE AND SENT ME BACK TO COLLECT THE FEES AND ALSO INTIMATED THAT "AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO CONSIDERATION".
  THAT WHEN I RETURNED TO MY LATE FATHER AND INFORMED HIM OF WHAT TRANSPIRED THAT MY LATE FATHER JUST BROKE INTO TEARS AND STARTED CRYING IN MY PRESENCE AND SAID THAT "OH! THE LATE HEADMASTER DID NOT TRUST HIM THAT HE WAS GOING TO PAY THE MONEY AT THE END OF THE MONTH !"
  IN FACT, SINCE THAT DAY AND EVEN NOW AS I SEND THIS E-MAIL TEARS STARTED FLOWING FROM EYES AND I SAW CLEARLY FATHERLY LOVE FOR HIS CHILD".
  IT IS IN THE LIGHT OF ABOVE THAT I LEARNED AND DREW STRONG MORAL LESSONS OF WHAT "WORDS, ACTIONS AND DEMEANORS" CAN OR COULD REALLY DO TO SHOW A REAL SIGNS OF "LOVE, AFFECTION AND DEEP SEATED UNDERSTANDING OF SITUATIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES, THERETO AND TO HELP COOL DOWN TEMPERS FROM FLARING AND FINALLY BRINGS MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE REAL ISSUES AT STAKE.
  IT IS THEREFORE MY FERVENT AND HUMBLE PRAYER THAT H.E.PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN DRAMANI MAHAMA TO RESPECTFULLY CONSIDER TO REVISIT THE MEDICAL DOCTORS STRIKE ACTION ISSUE AND ALL OTHER RELATED ISSUES AS "A FATHER AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF" TO HELP IGNITE THE ENGINE OF TRUST AND HOPE.
  RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

  John Dramani Mahama PSCPresident John Mahama
  The unyielding stance by President John Mahama not to pay a dime beyond what has been budgeted for as wages, allowances and salaries for public sector workers has angered striking doctors and allied health service workers.
  
  Deputy General Secretary of the Ghana Medical Association, Dr Justice Yankson has refused to comment on the president's latest remark except to say "I will respect my person and will not get into a banter with the president."
  
  He would rather go into petty trading than be forced to return to the consulting room without acceptable conditions of service.
  
  Addressing members of the Ghana Registered Midwives Association, GRWA at the launch of their 80th anniversary in Accra, president John Mahama said "Any agreements that are reached in respect of allowances or conditions of services would have to be appropriately captured in the budget."
  
  "And I want to say for emphasis I will not authorize any expenditure on wages and compensation not provided for in the budget."
  
  He does not want to break the spine of the Single Spine Salary Structure.
  
  But the doctors are unfazed by the president's position on the matter. If anything, they are angry and have decided to carry through with their strike and possibly mass resignation.
  
  Dr Justice Yankson told Joy News Matilda Wemegah they will withdraw emergency services on August 7, 2015 as they intensify a one-week strike action which has seen them withdraw OPD services.
  
  They are preparing to resign en masse if their demands for conditions of service are not provided. In a move that will leave patients on bended knees, resident medical officers and house officers at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital have, after emergency meetings, today, given their full backing to the striking doctors.
  
  They are also threatening to join the striking doctors.
  
  The House officers normally handle minor cases in the absence of the doctors.
  
  Meanwhile, labour expert Mohammed Affum has chided the president for the comment he made.
  
  "If the posture of the president continues a lot of lives will be lost," he said on Joy FM's Top Story with Evans Mensah.

  There is big problem coming if u don't recognize and solved it early. the Officers that you are backing are not telling u the true story. there are so many reduction in soldiers pension pay for no reason especially 1988/89 GROUPS. they shouldn't forget that we the Other Ranks are now learned people who have Masters in other degrees and now know the calculation of what have to be paid to them on their retirements benefits. something is wrong somewhere, so go down to the grass root and find out. don't forget that they are EX SOLDIERS, they can strike at any time. and therefore we need peace in this country. buukom Haram did not start a day. once a soldier, always a soldier. hmmmmmm I have said my own.

  It is most unfortunate for the defence Minister to speak like this on the ex soldiers demands. Now the Minister should listen, when i left service my last pay was 1300ghc after serving for 32years but my terminal benefits were calculated on a salaray of 800ghc, and on 25years and not on 32years. This salaray of 1300ghc even went up to 1600ghc as per the single spine but yet still nothing was done to it after several notices, so i an surprise the minister is talking about loans from banks. Please Mr Minister set the records straight and dont be mislead by the so called greedy officers. Is the Minister not awere that some of the soldiers has already taken the matter to court. I suggest the Minister meet the retired soldiers without the officers to listen to them so he can get the facts, its not too late. He should check the gratuity calculation form and see if that form was used. I blame NYAMEKYE YEBOAH (DFC ) and GESI ( CO PAY OFFICE)for all this.

  If time is not taking we will strike this country n the first person will be you the ministry of defence as for the officers is easy to get them. Just two grenades when they are in that their chilling with our hard earn monies.corruption basabsa everywhere in GAF but they don't see anything wrong with that why Ghana,very we will also enter into plain politics right. A soldier who be in service more than 15years will be control and man handle by a small boy who just join the service in the name of officer because he is commission by the president God help us. But the time is so near that GAF will start world war three within itself.

  mr minister educate yourself before you accused the soldiers falsely,the junior ranks are working all their heart out for the so call generals to buy their big estates and send their children abroad to school,when there is a course for junior rank to go in abroad ,an officer will wear junior ranks rank and attend the course,why? is the armed forces for the officers or what.all our volumes are colonial and needs to be changed.all our officers are thieves and let them not forget we are more than them,a day will come that we the junior ranks will bow no more.

  u could realize all the minister is saying about project is to benefit the commissioned officers,not even a single one favours the non commissioned soldiers.why because they are said to be the royals just like the British. The truth is they are seriously cheating and suppressing the other ranks,I therefore urge the media not to be afraid of investing.The military is One of the most corrupt institution in Ghana,just that we don't talk because they will always scare you of charging u with that gold coast volume two which the British brought to the country to cheat and left but our so called generals still use that to cheat.

  all the soldiers need is the cancellation of that slavery volume 2 and stick to the constitution of Ghana and lets see how the generals will cheat again.And also the armed forces should be audited and lets see the truth.

  What are they doing about the CIF items ordered by UN peace keeper soldiers and not delivered since 2012, or is that also not true? We are still waiting patiently for a refund of our money with interest. This is long overdue
