My dear sisters and brothers, I believe we are all matured enough to read between the lines. The same JM said he will not restore the allowances. Why change of direction. Trust me JM will stop the allowances once he get into office again. Think about it.
I will collect mine when it comes but I will not be influenced by it.Only God know what my mum has gone through these 2 years plus.If they can buy V8 vehicles for chiefs, senior journalists etc but can't pay us what was being paid in the past,
WHAT A SHAME TO THE NDC GOVERNMENT FOR PUNISHING THIS HEALTH WORKERS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS ONLY TO RELEASE THEIR ALLOWANCE LESS THAN A MONTH TO ELECTION. YOU ARE DOING IT BCOS VOTES AND U WILL BE PUNISH FOR THAT. THE HEALTH WORKERS ARE CIVILIZE INSTITUTION AND YOU CAN TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED.
This NDC party is DESPERATE. Ghanaians are very SMART and DISCERNING. Mark my words, NDC. Bye-Bye-Bye. We need a COMPETENT, MATURED & PATRIOTIC people to run Ghana. It is good news Woyome has started paying so that when NPP takes over he can't stop.
The Minister for Finance is such a j0ker. Banana Republic paaaa Akwadu Republic
NDC is a generation of w...I..c..k..ed rulers of Ghana. The same did Rawlings and his PNDC cancelled end of service benefit of public and civil servants. Wise up Ghanaians! NDC and Prez Mahama has nothing good to offer Ghana. Nurses, just take the allowance to wipe your tears and vote them out - I mean all nursing training schools in Ghana, VOTE NDC OUT OF POWER. Let them rather go and manage their petrol filling stations!
